I leave the paper attached to the material until it is time to use the squares. Not what most people would use it for but it is perfect for quilting scraps. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pacon® Plain Newsprint, 8 1/2" x 11", Ream Of 500 Sheets - Crayola Construction Paper - 480ct (2pck), Bulk School Supplies For Kids, Teacher Classroom Must Have, Art Paper, Arts & Crafts - TaoBary 300 Pcs Watercolor Paper Sheet Bulk White Cold Press Paper Pack 110 lb 230 GSM Sketch Painting Watercolor Pad for Watercolorist Beginning Artists Adults Drawing Craft(5 x 7 Inch) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/268154954-pacon-plain-newsprint-8-1-2-x-11-ream-500](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/268154954-pacon-plain-newsprint-8-1-2-x-11-ream-500) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-26*
