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.

Well, you can order it from here:

(at the bottom of the page)
but it's not cheap...I don't know anyplace that sells it by the roll. Of course, I live in the middle of Vermont, so there may well be someone else who does know where to find some :)

(I was just wandering through Jack's friends page...don't mind me...)

I don't mind you :) Feel free to visit!

Oooh, spiffy! They do sell it by the roll. I wonder how many yards per roll? (I'm sure I could resell it, like folks who buy rattan by the bundle because they need two pieces.)

Apparently if you go to this other page, they tell you!
