i feel that it does - i would always choose to see what i'm sewing instead of sewing blind though.
the paper is called Neenah Paper UV/Ultra II Translucent 17 weight in Radiant White.
here's a website that sell's it to quilters but if you buy it thru a paper place its much cheaper.
$36 for 500 sheets compared to $10 for 100 sheets
