I work in a doc's office and have used table paper for a lot of things. I use it for paperpiecing, tracing patterns, and lately I used it to quilt. I drew the quilting design on the paper, taped it with painters tape to the quilt and just quilted right on the paper. (I suck at FMQ so have to have lines to follow). The paper tore off without distorting the stitching and my quilt looks like I can FMQ LOL!
Ebay is a good source or if you have a medical supply store in your area you can buy one roll at a time.
