Review on Neenah Exact Vellum Bristol Cardstock 8.5x11 67lb Blue: 250 Sheets - Premium Quality & Versatility at an Unbeatable Price (81328) by Karla Richter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent English hexagon cardstock for binding paper

I bought this paper to make paper pieces for English paper binding. I like that it's heavier than regular paper but not as heavy as regular card stock so it sews up nicely. The usual thicker cardboard was too heavy and difficult for the needle. The price was really great. I would recommend this to others making their own English paper sewing templates. Updated: 06/28/15. I love it when you only sew hexagons. However, on more complex designs with other shapes, I found it a bit stiff for this purpose. See my review of Neenah Exact Vellum Bristol, 67 lbs, 8.5 x 11 in, 250 sheets, White, Brightness 94. This product is also available here at Revain. This paper is exactly the same weight as pre-cut papers that you can buy online. While this is a great cardstock for making simple hexagonal styrofoam flowers, I prefer the other for more complicated styrofoam designs.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
