I've been doing this sort of thing onto butcher paper, but poster board, of course!! Why didn't I think of this??

Thank you for the great idea, and very clear instructable! Tracing the pattern piece onto sturdy poster board is going to preserve my patterns better, and the pieces will be easier to store (no more crinkled, floppy butcher paper!) :)
