: Moving away from the plywood idea and back to the question of
: paper-

: A good art supply store- a real one, not a craft store like
: Michael's or something like that- should have rolls of graph
: paper 36" wide or wider you can purchase by the yard or
: foot. Usually they're lined in fractions of an inch, like 1/8,
: 1/4, or whatever, or 1/10s of an inch. I've also seen metric in
: catalogs, but not at the stores I've shopped at.

: Now- thanks to my wife, I also know that many fabric stores and
: nearly all quilt shops carry graph paper up to 24x36 for quilt
: layout. The stuff my wife has is gridded in 1/4" squares.

I got lucky in this regard, the hospital where I work used to use paper in their plotter and decided to go to using only film and thru out all the paper. Guess where it went :)

Rolls and rolls of paper all wrapped up neatly in plastic wrap and sealed from the elements and boxed even. Must have 20 rolls like 30 yards long. Lifetime supply, even for me .
