Pattern-Ease is a non-woven tracing material. You can find it with interfacings at your local fabric store. Many online merchants sell Pattern-Ease also.

There are other manufacturers' products that work just as well, such as:

• Tru-Grid Graph Material
• Swedish Tracing Paper
• Pattern-Tracing Material
• Sew Fast Sew Easy Dotted Pattern Paper

I never cut any of my original sewing patterns. Instead, I trace them onto Pattern-Ease and cut the Pattern-Ease. It is wonderful to use when customizing patterns also.

Certainly. You can even trace around a stocking and use it for your pattern if you prefer.

My favorite book on this topic is called Happy Endings: Finishing the Edges of Your Quilt by Mimi Dietrich. You can find it on Amazon.com (see link), or you may be able to find it at your local library.
