good quality

ES MUY BUEN PRODUTO.

This is an essential when tracing patterns for sewing. Nice and wide and easy to manage. The paper is durable and easy to store .

Excellent paper for tracing sewing patterns - I hate cutting into patterns because my weight and size can fluctuate and I often like reusing patterns for multiple projects. This paper made it so much easier to just trace a pattern in the proper size, make adjustments, and go...and there's so much paper on the roll! It'll last a long time...but when it runs out I will definitely buy it again!

This stuff is exactly what you need if you're someone who sees off of commercial patterns. In this way, you can preserve the original pattern with its multi size and options, and come back to it if you've made a mistake. If there's a pattern you especially love and continuously find yourself pulling out, this will help to keep the original alive, because you'll have an extra copy. And for those who don't immediately fit or like the pattern sizing/style, making a second copy allows you to make all sorts of size adjustments and hacks to your heart's delight, all while allowing you the choice to go back if you want. The paper itself is thin enough to easily see through for tracing, strong enough to not disintegrate or tear, and smooth and supple enough to fold the patterns to fit into an envelope. For a quick comparison, it's much like that paper they use at the doctor's office during checkups, only much nicer, smoother, and stronger. And this is much better priced than Swedish tracing paper.

What you're seeing in the picture I uploaded is a pattern drafted in pencil on Bee paper with a another sheet of Bee paper over it. As you can see, it's very transparent which makes it easy to transfer patterns (1) from one iteration to the next or (2) from oaktag to pattern paper or (3) from commercial patterns to this pattern paper. It's not that thin and doesn't tear easily but it's very transparent. I use a mechanical pencil than sometimes runs out of lead when I'm in the middle of drawing a line but even the empty metal point of my mechanical pencil doesn't tear it. Neither does erasing it with either my pencil eraser or my electric eraser (which has torn its share of lesser papers). It's a white paper than would look white on a white background but because it's so transparent it takes on the color of whatever it's laying on. It is a crisp paper. For sewers this could be a down side. Tissue-fitting might be difficult with this paper because it's so crisp that it doesn't drape on the body. If you're looking for paper you can tissue-fit with, try Swedish Tracing Paper. It has an almost cloth-like feel. But it is pricier per foot. Be like me and buy both! Save the more expensive Swedish paper for tissue-fitting only and use this for everything else. If you're not tissue-fitting, I think you will like the crispness as much as I do. It's a pleasure to trace and draft with. Highly recommended for all sewing, tailoring and pattern-making applications except tissue-fitting.
