I buy it at Office Depot, but I'm sure the other stores have it as well. i don't know how big you need your sheets, but I usually get the 11x17 pad of 50 pages, and then cut the pieces in half (using the cutter at the copy center in the store) so I have 100 sheets. I think the pad is $16
If you're not putting it through the copier, the tracing paper is cheaper. Nancy's Notions used to have a 100 page pack for $10 that I would buy at shows - it was always the best deal around. ah, I see they still sell them online: http://www.nancysnotions.com/product...ation+paper.do That's the best deal...but then there's shipping and waiting. ;-) |
I buy tracing paper. It is cheaper than vellum and will go thru my printer.

I'm working on a paper piecing project right now. I just traced my shapes on to freezer paper and cut them out. Then I ironed them to the back of the fabric. Working good so far. Good luck!

You might try an art supply store.
Here in Oregon we have two stores that sell nothing but paper, I'm sure they have websites or they might be national (PaperPlus or Paper Zone). |

Hobby Lobby carries vellum. When I got into paper-piecing, I liked newsprint. Found a company in California that sold it by the bundle. I ended with 1,000 sheets for under $25 including s/h. Prints fine in my printer, too.

I realized you said you want it because it is transperant, but cost wise, you can get the newsprint at Office Depot online for 500 sheets for $5 plus shipping.....I tried to go into the local store, but they didn't stock it.
Carol Doak's is 10 cents a sheet and OD is about a penny a sheet..... I've never seen any vellum for that low. |

I bought a ream (500 pages) of lightweight vellum when it was on sale here: http://www.paperplus.com/productdeta...p?bvn=10016356 It's not on sale now but it's a low price for that much. A ream will last you forever!

i've been using the paper that bellaboo has posted for years now and i love it.
its worth the few extra bucks over the cheap stuff when paper piecing. |
