I have been using toothpicks for a long time.  I have never have a stack shift or ruin a blade running into at brad or staple.  Also the scrap anything, posterboard, cardboard. luna, used for the top of the stack makes for easy pattern removal.  Just throw the top piece away.

I use clear packing tape, I have used double sided cello tape but found the layers moved, the other is staples or small brads

"Zots" enough silly talk!

Zeriously...i would assume that you would have to make sure all dust is off both surfaces to make them stick.

Quality GB..... loved it ! ... I use clear sellotape around the the edges and A4 sized sticky backed paper for the pattern !......Works for me . but as dgman says whatever works for you !...Pete

I use packing tape (dollar store) for most pieces  and double sided tape (dollar store again). I put 2 ,3 or 4 pieces of double sided depending on the size and then cover the top with clear tape, making sure to wrap around the edges. If the project has many small frets, I use the blue tape first.  Has anyone tried the green tape?  I like the idea of using a throw away top piece!!!! Sometimes my patience also runneth thin!

Judy....Seriously....  Zots just are not the way to go.  Like mentioned above they are not 100% dependable....  GLUE IS ....  Just give what ever your cutting a little more outside area and just put a few dots of glue in that area.  Clamp and wait maybe 5 minutes and start cutting.  I Swear by Ayleens....(SP)
                           Just my 2 cents, but I swear by it....  Danny  :+}

Yeah Danny that is what I do, I was just looking for an easy way to use up a gazillion zot that I bought  a long time ago for another project.  What color is the aleens bottle that you swear by?
