Go to: www.nancysnotions.com and in the search box type in: Pattern tracing paper............it's 21" tall and
77 yards long .....I LOVE it and it lasts forever. It's soft, folds nicely and doesn't tear and is easy to see through. Have used it for patterns quite successfully but, currently, I like to cut off a piece and free hand an imagine I want to use as an applique on a quilt...takes pencil nicely and erases well with an art gum eraser...then I use template material laid on top of the individual sections of the completed design to get the templates needed to recreate it in fabric.

I do that as well, but didn't think of using the paper you did. I'll definitely check that out. Enjoyed all the comments. having 15 gg-kids and one due in September, hoping to sew clothes more and more. I also wanted you to know doll 157 had gotten mailed out this week for a very sick child (Cystic Fibrosis this time and a 7 year old as of today)

When I made multiples of little clothes for my kids I used to trace patterns onto cheap non-woven interfacing, the kind that is a little stiff and doesn't stretch. It holds up well to a lot of uses.
