Where has this been all my life???!!!  I absolutely love this paper.  It is large and sturdy enough to protect my table (was able to do a spray paint project inside the house) and for me to draw my sewing patterns, but i can also trace things on it (like printed patterns).  It is thicker than the typical exam room table paper, I would say it is a little thicker than normal printer paper.  I could not be happier with the price, size, and quality.
