Yes, but it is crisper than tracing paper so it tears very easily when removing it. You also have to be careful with what you use to mark on it. I did pencil once and the graphite embedded in my quilting thread through the paper. This time I used a frixion pen to mark my design onto the golden threads and I used a very fine thread so I got no transfer. I have heard of some people using water soluble pens to mark it. So I'm not sure which item gave me more success in not transferring the marking medium to my thread, the different marking medium or the ultra fine 100 wt. thread.
