Architect's linen isn't really necessary. Most of us use standard weight
paper for the pattern, and then cover the paper with sticky plastic film (to

Perhaps those who prefer architect's paper over paper/stock covered in
plastic have run across it or can provide insight.

As I posted the original query I can assure that it was only referring to
architects' linen and in the context solely of needle lace. I would not
