I use the paper that the doctor uses to cover his table when you go in for a check. He gave me my first roll about 11 years ago and told me where to get it. Go to a medical supply place, and you can buy it. It is strong and can be used over and over. you can see through it to trace your pattern. I have never been without it. I trace everything I need from it. Try it, It will bring a big smile to your face.
