Many quilters discover that the wrong foundation paper can be difficult to tear away cleanly, add unnecessary bulk to seams and make accurate piecing harder than it needs to be.

Patterntrace Foundation Paper has been specially developed to solve those problems.

At a lightweight 44 gsm, it feeds smoothly through both inkjet and laser printers while remaining impressively transparent for accurate fabric placement and precise piecing. Its excellent see-through quality makes it easy to position fabrics, check alignment and trim with confidence as you work. The paper is strong enough to stitch through confidently, yet thin enough to tear away easily once your block is complete, without pulling at stitches or distorting your placement.

Designed specifically for foundation paper piecing, it helps you achieve sharper points, flatter seams and more accurate results.

Foundation piecing is a method of quilting that allows you to use small scraps to sew detailed designs, or designs which require precision piecing by sewing through foundation paper which you then tear off afterwards. You can use free foundation patterns, purchased patterns or downloads from books and magazines which you either print directly onto the paper, trace onto the foundation paper or draw on freehand.
