I use either sturdy clear plastic drop sheets (the sort painters use, very
inexpensive) or I go to the dollar store and get clear shower curtains or
tablecloth protectors. I just spread out the pattern on the table or floor,
throw the plastic over top and trace with a sharpie marker. Even the thin
window plastic works pretty well, if a bit clingy due to static. So far the
only trouble I have had is when cutting out black fabric - I couldn't see my
lines. :0)

I have a multi-size tissue pattern that I would like to use several times,
and make in more than one size.
What is your favorite method of preserving patterns to keep them intact? In
the past, I have fused the tissue to muslin, but those were *very* simple
children's play clothes, and eyeballing the cutting line for a smaller size
was simple.
Suggestions?
