I make one copy of the template on regular printer paper then rather than use newsprint, I have a tablet of large size tracing paper and have traced the outer lines of the embroidered area of the block onto it. I can see through the tracing paper to center it onto the embroidered block before trimming the block to size for the added borders. Since the embroidery seems to draw in the fabric some, this way I can make sure the block will be the correct size before trimming and adding the borders.

I buy newsprint in tablets at an art supply store. They come in various sizes from 8x11" to 18x 24. In fact, the foundation paper Carol Doak makes for sale is very similar in texture to newsprint (it probably is!). Hope this helps.

I'm a bit late finishing the June embroidery. But, I did find a short cut in putting together the templates. I only ran off one copy each of the 8 pages. I tiled the first template, used it to note the pattern pieces, then traced the sewing and cutting lines for the borders, plus the background placement lines on 18"x24" newsprint using a light box. I decided to make 3 of these so I can keep the original without cutting it. This saved me printing 16 more pages, plus tiling them together. The newsprint works great to add the borders. Hope this helps others who are late like me. And, there's still August!
