Dot & Cross paper

I'm using some 'DOTS & CROSSES' paper at the moment. Marked with small dots & crosses every 2.5cm/1", its traditionally used by dressmakers to make patterns. The dots &/or crosses are used as reference marks for making straight lines, curves, angles - in fact any shape that is needed for a clothing pattern.

• The paper is generally quite wide when purchased on a large roll - similar in weight to ordinary basic printing paper. It can therefore be used 'generally' for any craft as it handles & cuts well.
• Any type of basic master pattern can be drawn directly on to the paper - dots/crosses used as reference points.
• Any type of pattern can be scaled up (or down) in size by marking the dots & crosses into appropriate scaled squares (ie. 2.5cm, 5cm, 10cm / 1", 2", 4" etc).
• It can be 'coloured' using pencil, crayons etc. so is ideal for children to use to 'get straight lines' by joining together of the dots/crosses.
