Yes. Just the cheapo stuff you buy in a pad at walmart, michaels or office supply stores.
Transdoodle is the name brand of the paper. It is a transfer paper, kind of like the same idea as carbon paper. It has a chalky coating on one side. You put that side down on top of your quilt or fabric and then put your design over it and go over the lines of your design with a stylus or dryed up ball point pen.
