Greetings!

I am watching the SLANTED POCKET tutorial, and it says to use Tracing Paper. I looked in the materials list, and there wasn't any suggested type of tracing paper. What would be the best tracing paper for drafting? I searched for tracing paper online and I see there are sheets and there are rolls. Not sure if there is a thickness I should consider; or are they all the same.

OR . . . is that information in a series that I haven't watched yet? If so, please refer me to that series or video.

SUGGESTION:
It would be great if the materials list were more detailed. I am a beginner sewer and I want to buy the supplies needed, but I want quality, because I don't want to buy them again (if I don't have to).

OR . . . a video on sewing supplies that would be used in some form in the lessons found on the site. What does Nehzat (I hope I spelled your name right) use or recommend. Stuff like that.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Re: Tracing Paper (what Kind)
Dear joyjoyjoy,
 
The tracing paper that I usually use myself, is the one used by architects. These are stronger and won't tear easily and usually come in rolls.
 
Best place to buy these would be art supply stores that specialize in fine arts. 
 
Thanks for your suggestions for future video lessons.
 
 
Happy sewing,
 
Nehzat
