I do a lot of paper piecing and was looking for something transparent so that it was easy to reverse designs. I came across Simple Foundations Translucent Vellum Paper and purchased some, but it was £7.75 for just 30 sheets - although good, really expensive! I felt there had to be something cheaper! I hunted around and, eventually, found packets of Owl Brand A4 Natural Tracing Paper which, unlike some other makes that I tried, goes through my printer like a dream without jamming it up! Unfortunately, I discovered soon afterwards that the makers are discontinuing it so, 3 weeks ago, I went on the internet and tracked down a boxful which works out at £2 per packet of 20 sheets - only snag is ..... a box contains 144 packets!! But at least I shall never run out!! In the US, you seem to have much cheaper alternatives than we do here in the UK.

Jackie, I told you I had e-mailed Neenah. Here's what they told me:
Dear Mary Ann,
Thank you for contacting The Paper Mill Store .com
I believe the brand that you are referring to from Neenah is the
UV/Ultra II translucent sheets.
Here is a link to the options that we carry:

Neehan is a paper manufactuer they carry all type of paper stock. I have worked for a printing company for 30 years and they are a nice quality band of paper. There are wholesale paper houses all over that sell this paper to individual's. Before I paid 40 plus dollars I would check paper houses or your local printer they will know the Neehan brand. Bosworth Paper, Clampitt Papers, XpedX, PaperChase etc. some will not sell to individuals but some will.
