Question 1

Can you draw on this ?

Accepted Answer

Overall, this is a nice quality vellum.  
I can’t print on it with my injet because it smears badly. But using a laser jet printer, it does a fine job. 
Since it’s surface is semi glossy and not absorbent, you could draw on it with a pencil. However, using paint or felt tips will be difficult since they will tend to smear much like with the ink jet printer.

Question 2

Can this paper run through a copy machine?

Accepted Answer

I’m a copier repair technician, you might try running your paper thru the bypass instead of the paper tray, be sure to set the correct paper type for your bypass settings and your print driver settings. This may help. Either way, if the paper sticks together adjust the paper “type” so the copier will compensate for the temperature if the fuser.

Question 3

Would this vellum be thick enough to fold and use as an envelope?

Accepted Answer

This vellum is translucent  and  has a waxy feel, which makes it feel heavier than other vellums.It might work for you. You can use markers and technical drafting pens on it ,without bleed or feathering. However I do not recommend it if you are going to be using it on any kind of light table. It draws up from the heat.

Question 4

Is this vellum suitable as foundation paper for paper piecing quilting?  Does it pull away easily from stitching?

Accepted Answer

If you use a smaller stitch length, 2.0 works, 1.5 works better.  Crease it by running scissors handle or a spoon over the fold and it will tear very easily and cleanly along your stitched line.  I have already put more than 50 through my printer and there has not been a single smudge, smear or bleed.  For the $, you can't go wrong on this one.  If you find something that is less than 17#, please share.
