Best medical exam table paper according to redditors

Depends on what you like to work on. Butcher paper usually is the cheapest (look for it at a home improvement store by the roll, much cheaper than a sewing supply place). Drawbacks are that it's heavy and brown, which means your lines have to be fairly heavy to see easily.

Another cheaper option is to see if you can find the rolls of paper that doctors offices use to cover the exam tables. It's white and thinner than butcher paper, but still pretty sturdy. Here's a link to buy that type in bulk, the trick is finding this type sold in smaller quantities.

I will also sometimes use non-fusible interfacing during the pattern drafting process, as it drapes more like fabric and is fairly inexpensive. It is also sheer enough that you can put it over an existing pattern and trace it, which is nice when you're working with vintage dry-rotted pattern paper.

Good luck with your project!
