Pattern paper

I used to have a roll of white paper, about the weight of gift wrap, with little dots at exactly one-inch intervals. It was for making or copying sewing patterns, and eventually I used it all up. Fabric Place claims not to have such a beast. (Clerks disagree on whether they ever carried such a thing.) I'll try JoAnn's on my way home from work, but they don't have a good track record lately.

Anybody out there recognize this, and have a suggestion where I can replace it?

EDIT: I found grid-marked interfacing at JoAnn's, which I can use this week for the pattern I need to make. I'll probably order some of the paper pointed out by [livejournal.com profile] cat9, below; anyone wanting to join the order let me know After Pennsic.

Also JoAnn's had linen - more linen than Fabric Place has had all season. Even black.

Shopping!

I swear, I spend almost as much money getting ready for Pennsic as I do in the Merchants' Quarter when I get there. Well, that's not quite true, but I have reached the run-around-shops-for-one-more-thing stage of Pennsic Prep.

Yesterday I bought Dr. Scholls Corn Pads, sunblock, hair elastics, and purse packs of baby wipes (and failed to find shorter bike shorts). Today I bought a shovel, hinge pins, "pewter" buttons, and grey thread (and failed to find pattern paper). Tonight I'll look for pattern paper, a mattress cover for the futon, perry, and fresh pomegranates.....
