We use drafting/tracing paper. It's 36" wide, so
many pattern pieces fit on one width. It's
really transparent, erasable, and pretty
durable. It gets a bit brittle after about 5
years but not too much. We used to get it at
Office Depot, but we now get it at our
university's bookstore - with the supplies for
the architecture students. (Which is also a
source for good pencils, erasers, and various curves and templates....)

I totally agree with the Christmas paper.
You can sometimes find it with grid patterns on
the back side. I usually just use my tracing
wheel & the tracing paper for sewing,
especially when the paper is multi sized on
heavy paper. A little more expensive but very
well worth it if you plan to use the pattern
several times is artist velum or erasable
velum. It is slightly translucent and easy to work with.
