I got mine from LciPaper. It was around $50 when it was shipped. But that was for a ream of 500. It was 17lb weight.

They also have a 29lb weight as well that's more expensive.

It works wonderful in my laser printer. I'm very pleased with it.

Same here. Or I use the tracing paper from there.

Try Office Depot or Micheals.

Check Hobby Lobby in the Scrapbooking section or art supply department. That's where I have bought vellum before. It's great if you wait for the 40% off coupon.

some quilt shops carry it...you can usually find it in craft/hobby stores, like Michaels, joannes, hobby lobby, or on line at places like Clotilde's and Nancy's notions....and of course the queen of paper piecing Carol Doak has all the supplies you need on her web site :thumbup:

I BOUGHT MY THIN VELLUM AT "OFFICE DEPOT" AND IT IS GREAT. A LITTLE ON THE EXPENSIVE SIDE.

I use freezer paper for pp. A box from grocery store lasts forever. I use double sided tape and it goes through my printer without any problem.

I buy tracing paper in a tablet at WalMart....works great and it's pretty cheap. It even goes through my home printer.

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:

That's the best deal...but then there's shipping and waiting. ;-)

Thank you. I have been looking all around and it is too expensive; however, I just ordered it from Nancys Notion.
You are wonderful!!! :thumbup:
