   This sounds like a good offer - pity i have no idea what you are referring to! Obviously, as i live in UK I am not asking for your "stash"(this seems to be what u Americans call the stuff u buy - and dont use up - my husband calls it my "non- moveable rubbish" when he's fed up with the workroom/office!)
   Just out of interest - what is so good about this paper? Am I missing something which would help me buy good quality tracing paper that can be recycled in school?)

   now i'm curious- do you use tracing paper in the uk? if so can you describe it? i would have thought it was a universal product, very handy for transfering marks like pivot points, buttins, etc.
   dritz tracing paper is similar to a mewsprint and coated on one side with ####color; slightly waxy but not greasy and never creates problems on fabric. it transfers to fabric easily with a tracing wheel. mine is packed away right now but i'm guessing it's about 8" wide and 24" long, folded in half to 8 X 12-ish size to transfer to both peices of fabric in one tracing. sorry if this is idiotically basic, perhaps i didn't understand the question :-)
   i am really curious how it differs from the product you'd use?

   Its the same as we have here - just a different trade name!
   Usually I buy it in packs of varying colours and as a square sheet.
   Shucks I thought there might be a new product on the block!

   Hi

   The tracing paper is waxed heavily on one side and used to mark patterns for dart placements, etc.  I don't use it any more, but many sewers still prefer it for accuracy.

   The markings are made by a disc tool which rolls along pattern lines and leaves a wax mark.

   I've sent the package to the first person who asked for it.

   Blue Skies.

   Thanks for your reply - I realise its the same as we have over here - just a different trade name!
   Full marks for recycling ( I recycle fabric etc by doing something or other with it - but I'm still reluctant to just give away unless I take it to school). This is where i take all old magazines and fabric which I suddenly have a "light dawning" moment of clarity about, and realise I'm never going to use that piece of fabric which i spotted in the year dot and kept cos it will be useful or just what i might need!!
   This must be the curse of all sewers!
   B in touch Jan

   "non- moveable rubbish" ( I can use this when I ask my daughters to clean their room!! Just perfect)I love it!! I just might have to adopt that saying! Of course we can put in in prettier terms when we refer to our wonderful monuments of fabric, like "non-moveable color" hmm that just came off the top of my head. I will have think on that!!Thanks for the smile!!Connie
