Review on 21125-Roll Exam Table Paper, Crepe, 21x125ft Single Roll of Patternmaking, Drafting, and Tracing Paper by Diagnostics Direct, Inc. by Kristen Reid

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for pattern drawing

You can pay or buy 12 times more "real" pattern paper. I used it to keep track of some PDF templates I was editing and it was great. The paper isn't very slippery and just stays where you roll it, which is nice. It tears with no problem but is strong enough not to tear accidentally. I used pencil, rollerball and gel pens. No issues with pigment transfer or ink not drying or smearing. I haven't had a chance to cut it but I suspect I won't have a problem and that's one of the main reasons I bought it. I bought the pattern which is only available in PDF format so I have to use regular paper. That's fine as I usually just trace the pattern I'm using and then cut along the line. But for this pattern it's a striped jersey top and I'm using black and white fabric. When I use chalk it shows up best on the white stripes. If I try to press a little harder, the fabric shifts and streaks appear. When I use a black pen it doesn't show up on the black bars. This is a pattern that really needs to be pinned to fabric to cut and I'm glad I found this product. This is my favorite top despite the hassle and I know my pattern will wear out over time. Recovery is now cheap and easy!
