Great information! I've been using artist transfer paper successfully for my sewing pattern needs. You have inspired me to try taking that kind of paper a step further. I'm going to cut some into 8 1/2 x 11 sheets and test that type of paper to see if it will feed through the computer printer to print downloadable patterns. If so, it will be easy to see the marks where the sheets should be taped together.
I thought that was a genius idea! I’m sorry it didn’t work. It would have saved so much time- not having to cut off the margins on printed PDF patterns. Keep thinking these great ideas
Me too - (and I always loved the neckline of baby's onesies). Unfortunately, I didn't make this shirt (Target - 2 or 3 years ago) but I am thinking I need to make a pattern from it. I keep searching for patterns with a boat neck. I found one by Halfmoon Atelier but I haven't sewn it so I can't say how good or not it is - But feel free to go first ;-) Here is the link to that pattern; www.halfmoonatelier.com/collections/all-patterns/products/boat-neck-anegada
Great video thanks. I wonder should you add to your list "Dressmakers tracing paper" which I have been using and presume its a tad more durable option to "Artists tracing paper"? I got some from Hobby Craft (UK) (comes in 76cm x 101cm).
Thanks a lot for the helpful information. I am looking at the exam paper and noticed there is a non-woven type used for therapist. I am wondering whether that type is better as it won't tear like the paper type
Interesting. I didn't know about that type of paper. It would be stronger. You just want to be able to see through it if you're using it for tracing other patterns. Let me know if you get it how you like it.
Construction paper is a good idea. It's a nice weight and easy to find. The only downside is erasing lines from it but you don't have to erase. You could just but an X through the wrong line. And if you use Scotch Magic Tape to tape it together you can write on the tape where the lines cross over it. How do you like the Lutterloh system? I'm interested.
It's brown kraft paper. It comes on a roll and I got it at an office supply store in the packing supply aisle. Craft stores may also carry it. It's the same weight brown paper bags from the grocery store are so if you have a small pattern to trace you could use a paper grocery bag.
@@TheDailySew thank you. I've been looking for something that is transparent like that, but haven't had any luck. But I'll go check out the office supply store near me. 😊
@@Angiespacedout sorry - I misunderstood you. That brown tissue paper is something I've never seen in a store but it's what many commercial sewing patterns are printed on. For something like that try a craft store like Michaels or ACMoore look at the wrapping tissue. They could carry a similar shade and transparency. It's very much like tissue paper used for wrapping in weight and feel. Sorry about the mistake

Uh-oh! It doesn't work. Hubby is trying to fix the jam right now. :)

Thank you!! Appreciate providers of product too.
Very informative and precisely explained video. Thank you so much 😊
I love the neckline on that tee! :) It kind of reminds me of my little one's baby tees, but with an updated boatneck.

@@TheDailySew I'll have to add that to my growing list projects in various stages of completion. ☺

Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't heard of Dressmaker's Tracing Paper. I'm going to look into it
Thanks for a very complete explanation!

Does Pelon 830 stretch?
No, it's pretty stable.
i taped 18"x12" construction paper together, and am trying to make a Lutterloh coat.
It shouldn't be as inky as newspapers though. Those have so much. Just handle it for a second and you get inked hands!

@@aleksandramakari true!
What is that brown paper you used at 5:18?
