Using Swedish Tracing Paper

Does anyone use this for making toiles?
I know you are supposed to be able to sew into it, but it feels so flimsy.

Any advice welcome.

Answering myself.
Did what I should have done in the first place and checked on the www.creative-industry.co.uk website.
Yes you can sew it - treat like cotton fabric.

Hi Sue,

Have only just seen this.  I use Swedish Tracing paper and love it for toiles.  IMO its not as robust as cotton fabric but is perfectly fine for toiles, I have even sewn a zip into it.
