Maybe its the embroidery lover in me but it reminds me of stabilizer. Or maybe butcher paper, we used to get it for the kids to draw on and also to put over top of the changing table. Is one side smother than the other or the same as far as texture goes

Probably fax paper but you might want to see how it does with PPing.

Could it be craft paper ? I used to get rolls like that for my kids when they were little. It went into a roller at the top of the easel, or just rolled out on the table.

This looks like embroidery stabilizer to me.

Well, I ironed a small piece of it and it turned purple. So I guess that means it is some kind of fax paper.

Thanks everyone for your input!

Backing for embroidery machine work?

It looks like the old fashioned roll of shelf lining paper. I use to use it all the time until they came out with peel and stick.

What about using it for paper piecing?

I was thinking stabilizer for machine embroidery. Does the correct guess get a prize?

Well, if it turned purple when ironed it is definitely not a stabilizer. Doubt that it was fax paper - most of those were single papers. If you trace a picture on top is there a line on it? I know there is a paper that is like a carbon - you see it in calculator tapes so you don't need a ribbon.
