Oh my stars and garters!!! I am thrilled to have won. I cannot wait to see all your hearts. I love that old saying!! You girls really know how to make one feel welcome. Thanks again.

I really like paper piecing and have use all the above papers at some time. My favorite is the cheapest copier paper I can find. Like Teresa said I don't see why you would have to see throught it but even copier paper is seen through if held to the light. I fold every line before I start. This gives me a visual on the side for the fabric and helps in the removal of the paper when it is finished. I also use very small stitches. Cathy(woodenzoo), although I have a roll of the pattern tracing paper I have not actually tried it. I think however it would be especially good if I wanted several of the same pattern and sewed through a stack with a needle only technique which someone mentioned above. I have used regular tracing paper that comes in a pad but my experience is when I press it with the iron on each seam it becomes brittle and sometimes comes off the fabris before I'm ready. I,too, think you paid a lot for the paper. PP is so much fun don't let paper be a reason not to do it. At that price I'd be reluctant to do much. Just my opinion. Sally

And, here's the link to the pattern for Star & Crescent. Here is a link that might be useful: Star & Crescent Pattern on Quilter's Cache

I did the Craftsy leaf pattern following Lois example. I may try another pattern as well, this pattern was lots of pieces, but the end result works.
