I totally agree with the Christmas paper. You can sometimes find it with
grid patterns on the back side. I usually just use my tracing wheel & the
tracing paper for sewing, especially when the paper is multi sized on heavy
paper. A little more expensive but very well worth it if you plan to use the
pattern several times is artist velum or erasable velum. It is slightly
translucent and easy to work with.
