Reply To: Searching for Pattern Making Paper

[the_professors_assistantKeymaster]

I get mine from Amazon.com. It is around $10 for a LONG roll of it. Will last for quite a while. I am about to order some more along with the Saral tracing paper. I got my double wheel tracing wheel and I love it. Got it from Walmart. It can be set so that you can trace the pattern size and mark the seam allowance, too. It is metric, so there is about 1/16″ difference, but I doubt that would make a big difference in the fit. I tend to cut on the outside of the line rather than inside or on top of it. I do a better job of cutting because I can see the line clearer.

If anyone else has a source other than Amazon, let me know. I will check it out. OH! I am ordering a scissor/knife sharpener, too. My scissors seem to get dull easily.

Has anyone purchased fabric from Hobby Lobby? How is the quality? The closest fabric store to me is Hancock Fabrics about 30 miles away. I’ve been purchasing fabric from Walmart, but it sure is thin. Even, the flannel is thin and doesn’t really have a selvage. Sure unravels easily.
