Review on πŸ“š Neenah Exact Vellum Bristol Green Cardstock, 8.5" x 11", 67 lb/147 GSM, 250 Sheets (81358) by Morgan Gilmore

Excellent cardboard for English hexagons

I bought this paper to make figures for English soldering. 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 creating simple hexagonal foam flowers, I prefer a different one for more intricate foam designs.

Pros
