Date: 9/22/12 2:43 PM I just checked prices on Amazon.
21" x 225 feet - 12 rolls - less than $40.
Holy Cow! What a savings!
Amazon - medical exam paper
compare with Nancy's Notions - 21" x 77 feet - 1 roll $8.99 eta: correction - katlew03 pointed out that it's 77 yards - not feet
Nancy's Notions Pattern Tracing Paper
Does the medical exam paper work well?

Date: 9/22/12 2:50 PM This one (same dimensions, same 12 rolls per case) qualifies for Amazon prime shipping.
Anything I should know before ordering? ------ Mary

Date: 9/22/12 3:42 PM Do you know somebody ... or somebody that knows somebody.. heh heh... that is a nurse or works in a doctor's office, etc?
I'm an esthetician and I need just a little of that exam paper once in a while... so I mooched a roll through one of my clients - she just threw $5 at the doc for the favor.
I wouldn't want 12 rolls of it around. ------ nightowlsally.com
On my radar someday: Babylock Serger, and some machine for travel.
My dearest wish is to have Bernina come out with a machine that doesn't give me a reason to *not* buy it.

 2 members like this. Date: 9/22/12 4:12 PM When you've got a lot of rolls, it's amazing how liberating it is. You're not scrimping on tracing and trying out variations on fit and details. Last year I bought 12 rolls with a friend, donated four to another friend who couldn't afford them and split the rest. I'm through one roll and half of another already. ------ Debbie |

Date: 9/22/12 4:19 PM Nancy's Notions is not 77 feet, it is 77 yards. I got it for 2/$14 a few months ago. Amazon is a better deal and I just ordered, but it is the same size roll for both. ------ Total fabric on hand: 1/1/13 1683.731 yds

Date: 9/22/12 4:22 PM Forgot to say that my order went through with free shipping, probably because it was over $25 or something. ------ Total fabric on hand: 1/1/13 1683.731 yds

Date: 9/22/12 5:09 PM that was a good catch! It's probably the same paper. :) ------ Mary
