This book looks amazing and will use Carol Legal Size Foundation Papers. We do stock Carol's Foundation Papers and if you love foundation piecing these papers are without question a MUST!
They are fantastic. I had sewn several quilts which are foundation pieced. The first couple I printed my templates out on normal computer paper, oh what a mistake that was. When you tear out that paper it pulls the seams and it is really hard to get it all out. I then got some of Carol Foundation Papers to try, yes they will cost more to use but oh wow the difference, you will wonder why you bothered trying anything else. The paper will print through your normal printer and in most of Carol's books you will find a disk that includes Foundation Factory which has the templates on it so you can just print it straight from the computer onto these foundation paper's (and you can print them out at any size!). They tear out so easily, no pulling on the seam and you get it all out, no little pieces left! And here is a bonus, Carol was one of our teachers for Quilting in the Highlands 2012, and we printed all the foundation papers for the workshops she was teaching. I was able to print these foundations on Carol's Foundation Paper through the laser printer, it was so easy! The Foundation Papers come in 8-1/2in x 11in, 100 sheets. Use in most inkjet or laser printers or copy machines. No shrinking,
curling, or turning brittle! Holds up beautifully during stitching;
tears away easily.Use a dry iron on a cotton setting and a press cloth
on your ironing board cover to protect it from excess ink.
