And April and Karen, I don't usually worry much about my scissors much, to be honest. You'll end up cutting paper with your good scissors, one way or another, and it's not that expensive to have them sharpened (which you should do regularly anyway). Our paper is still thin enough that it shouldn't effect your scissors any more than a lighter tissue. Cut away! Thanks for your interest and enthusiasm, everyone.

It was the first thing that impressed me. Thanks for that! I just bought my first Oliver + S pattern this week and when I opened it up I was so happy with the paper!

With traditional thin tissue paper, sometimes patterns will get 'mostly' cut-out but all preciseness is cut with the tissue and fabric together with sewing scissors. What do you do?

I am completely the same way, cannot write in my favorite notebooks without the pens I love. Your attention to detail is extraordinary from the patterns themselves to paper and it shows!

I knew! there was something special about that paper... it's over-the-top brilliant (but then everything you've done has been, why would I be surprised of even the paper choice? BIG smiles). Anyway, my friend likened it to the feel of thin vellum. It just feels right - and irons well, too. (I also do a quick press of my pattern pieces for pinning them to the fabric.)<br /><br />Tactile, eh? One more thing of relativity - it never ceases to amaze me the uncanny resemblances to our personalities.<br /><br />Please post more trivia like this - it's "thought"-eye-candy. hahaahahaha!
