Tracingpaper With Grid 80 cm x 15 Metre

One look at the photo and you'll see why sewists love this grid tracingpaper so much. The fine 5 by 5 centimetre grid squares with a clear centre line make aligning pattern pieces effortless. The paper looks light and transparent but feels sturdy under your fingers. Rolled up on a long roll, you get enough material in one go for several projects back to back.

What is this material

This is classic tracingpaper, also known as grid pattern paper like you might find at other craft suppliers. The thin paper lets just enough light through so you can lay an original pattern underneath and trace over it without damaging anything. The paper is sturdy enough not to tear while cutting, folding or unrolling it again. The grid helps you align your pattern pieces straight on grain and mark seam allowances. Over time you build your own collection of homemade or adapted patterns you can reuse again and again.

Uses

This grid pattern paper is essential for anyone who sews regularly and wants to keep or adapt patterns. Think of:

• Tracing large pattern pieces like trousers, skirts or jackets
• Adapting a basic pattern to your own measurements
• Saving your hand-drawn patterns for future use
• Enlarging or reducing pattern pieces using the grid
• Testing fit before cutting into actual fabric
• Making templates for quilting or patchwork
• Teaching material for sewing courses and workshops
• Storing patterns from magazines or sewing books
