DoxieMomma, you might check out in the fabric department next time you're there for some stuff called "Pattern Ease". Comes in a bolt so you'll find it with the stabilizers. I copy all my patterns whether clothing or craft on this stuff so I can keep the original pattern like new. It also doesn't tear like the tissue paper patterns. You place it over your pattern piece to copy as you can see right thru it but its strong stuff. I buy it by the bolts when I can find it. I used to get it at the Wal-Marts when they carried fabrics. Ours doesn't have fabric here in Carroll, IA.
Just a suggestion though.
