A lot of the answer about weight comes with personal preference. But usually, a heavier weight is best for on-edge work and outlines, and the thinner sheets coil easier. But some prefer the heavier paper for their entire piece. I would say wether you cut your own strips or buy pre-made, you should experiment with different weights and see what works best in your hands and on your projects. Best of luck, Linda!
