This is perfect for tracing and pattern making

Really helpful to have tracing paper big enough to trace patterns. However I hadn't realised how dark the gridlines would be, and they make it difficult to clearly see through the paper.

Great for my sewing projects

I use this for tracing sewing patterns and it's just about thin enough if you have a light surface to work on. The width is good, I've never needed to tape pieces together to fit a pattern piece on. The lines are handy for lining up the grain line, and straight edges. I would suggest getting some fairly thin felt tip pens to use on this. And the roll also lasts a fair while, and pieces traced last considerably longer than tissue paper (obviously depends on how often you're using it), plus you get to preserve your patterns entirely, which is worth the extra work.

Not transparent enough and the heavy gridlines makes hard work of tracing.

Arrived in a tube - so was in perfect condition through the post.Paper is lovely and substantial- but is a little hard to trace a pattern through it with the squares printed on it as it’s not greatly transparent. Perfect if you are making your own pattern tho! I had to have a very bright light shining on it to see through it to trace.

This roll of dressmaker's pattern paper is a generous amount and good value. The paper is squared to it's very easy to line up the grid on the pattern with the grain on the fabric. As the paper is rolled it naturally curls itself back when you unroll it. Pulling it gently over the table edge cures this without hassle. The paper is thinner than I expected. On one hand it is easier to pin to the fabric when cutting out; on the other hand, it gets dog-eared at the corners quite quickly, so I've had to recut some pattern pieces after they have been used four or five times. The paper takes a medium heat iron without damage so it's easy to press out the creases if you fold your patterns. It's a fairly-priced product and it serves my purpose. I would buy it again.
