I'm using tracing paper. sandpat has mentioned Vellum. The tracing paper is working okay--but it's stronger than it needs to be and can loosen stitches, so I'd like something even thinner and easier to tear. Suggestions?

Good question - I sure hope someone who knows answers soon.

I have used the Carol Doak paper and it tears very easily. I loved it.

I just bought some tracing paper on sale from http://www.utrechtart.com/ it is really thin. I am hoping it is going to work. I am afraid it may be even too thin to go through my printer. This is a great Art and Drafting supply company. I buy all of my regular rulers from them.

I've used every type of paper, even pages from an old Bible. I like vellum the best. Newsprint tears super easy but is easily ripped before I finish sewing. I only use paper I can print my pattern on, I don't like tracing the pattern.

Bella Boo, what is it about tracing paper you don't like? Is is because you can't put it through the printer? I am going to try.

Tracing paper is hard to find in my area and expensive. If I have to order online I may as well get the type I like which is vellum.

Golden Threads makes quilting paper on a roll, and I used it for the first time last week. I loved it!!! It holds up well for tracing, for the quilting, and then rips off easily. It's yellow, so it's easy to see on most fabrics. I haven't looked around for anything else yet, so price-wise I don't know how it compared.
