I was wondering if there was a source for Pattern paper -- what would I use to search for this? I live near the GTA in Ontario. Thanks

tracing paper

I got mine at Curry's art store (currys.com).  Since I don't need a lot of it, the roll lasts me a while and there wasn't anything around my immediate area that I could buy straight from a store.

Re: Pattern Paper

 Dear Genny,

You can purchase a variety of papers for pattern making.

Tracing Paper, which is see trough, to transfer the pattern to it. It is available in different widths and lengths.

Dot Marker Paper, which has numerical and alphabetical markings to help you draw your pattern. This type of paper is also thinner than regular printer paper.

Manila Paper, this type of paper is tan in color, and is available in different thicknesses, widths and lengths.

All these papers are available in roles.

In Toronto, you can visit the sewing supply stores on queen street. One that has these products is called Neren's Sewing Supplies, it is number 451 Queen st west on the south side very close to TD bank. Close to the intersection of Queen and Spadina.

There are also many stores online that sell these products such as: http://www.atlaslevy.com/designing/pattern_paper.htm

Hope this helps,

Nehzat
