The last time I looked, the blue film from Europe was available from main lace suppliers in the USA, like Van Sciver and Lacy Susan. Browse your favorite suppliers' webpages.
It's available from some European suppliers but shipping is quite a bit since a roll is heavy. I bought a roll some years back and have kept the local lacemakers supplied but my roll is running low now. When I bought it, and paid the shipping, I figured that the cost per square inch was almost identical to the selling price by USA suppliers. You won't save anything by buying a whole roll. Just shop your favorite supplier and get it a few feet at a time. A roll is a lot for one person. The sticky part will go bad before one person can use it all up. Buying a roll by a lace guild to serve all the members would be more practical. Our guild did that once and I think it served our needs for several years before it was used up. For a single lacemaker, buy a yard or two from a supplier. An alternative that's used by several people here is to print the pattern on blue paper and use clear sticky shelf paper on top. The clear stuff is available in most Dollar Stores and many other stores.
