Description
Pellon 830 Easy-Pattern is a lightweight, durable sew-in pattern material for tracing, drafting, altering and duplicating sewing patterns. Trace a commercial pattern onto it and keep the original intact, draft alterations without tearing tissue, or run it through an inkjet printer to print PDF pattern pieces you can reuse. The 45" x 10 yard bolt is enough for a season of garment and quilt patterns.
Made of 70% polyester and 30% viscose, it is strong enough for repeated handling yet soft enough to pin and fold. It is non-fusible and nonwoven, and it is inkjet-printer safe. If you want a printed 1" graph for drafting from measurements, use 810 Tru-Grid instead.

Compare and choose
- Easy-Pattern 830 vs Tru-Grid 810: which should I buy?
- Easy-Pattern is plain and inkjet-printer safe, so it is the one for tracing commercial patterns and printing PDF patterns. Tru-Grid has a printed 1" graph for drafting from measurements and squaring designs. Both are 45" x 10 yard sew-in non-wovens; many sewists keep one of each. Pellon 810 Tru-Grid 45" x 10 yd
- Easy-Pattern vs Pellon 111 tracing paper?
- 111 is a paper: cheaper, crisp to draw on, but it tears and cannot be pinned repeatedly or draped. Easy-Pattern is a fabric-like non-woven that survives repeated pinning, folding and handling, and can be printed on. Use paper for one-off tracings, Easy-Pattern for patterns you will use again.

- Can I really print on Easy-Pattern?
- Yes. Pellon states it is inkjet printer safe. Cut it to your printer's sheet size, feed it one sheet at a time and let the ink dry before handling. Do not use it in a laser printer.
- Will pencil, pen or marker show on it?
- Yes. It is white and takes pencil, ballpoint and permanent marker. It is slightly translucent, which helps when tracing from a pattern underneath.
- Can I use Easy-Pattern as interfacing?
- It is made as a pattern material, not an interfacing. For a sew-in interfacing use 910 Sew-In Featherweight; for a light fusible use 911FF. Pellon 910 Sew-In Featherweight
