Making Paper We sell the most common types of paper used in pattern making.  |
Manila Paper: It's used in fashion schools and in the fashion industry to place finalized clothing patterns on. It is bright, so marks contrast well with it, and smooth, for easy, accurate marking. Alphanumeric Paper Also known as "1-to-5", "Alphabet", or "Dotted" marking paper, alpha-numeric paper is like plotter paper which has been printed with a grid of light blue numbers and/or letters and/or dots spacedone inch apart which make it easy to line up pattern pieces straight for tracing outlines. The paper is also thin enough that you can see through it to trace a pattern lying below it. It is often laid right on top of the fabric spread and cut right along with the fabric. It is too thin for most people to use for making master pattern pieces, as the edges are not rigid enough to trace around. Kraft Paper This is the brown paper from which grocery saces are made (that is, if you choose paper, not plastic!). The weight we stock is 40# (read: forty pound). That's not how heavy the roll is. It is a measurement of the thickness of the paper. 40# kraft is roughly the thickness of a paper sack you'd get at the dime store, not the heavy duty bags in the grocery store. It is great for wrapping things, for using as filler paper in packaging, and for using as an underlay below a spread of fabric. It can also be used as one of the cheapest options for pattern paper, especially if the patterns are being made for temporary use. Wax Paper This is also NOT a pattern paper. Also known as "Lubritex", it is spread between layers of heat sensitive fabric to reduce fusing when cutting with a high speed straight knife. Pattern Cards These cards are use to write down all your information and the specifications of the pattern. |
