for $2.95 per five sheets. Postage to Australia was so reasonable and I still can't believe how quickly it arrived, especially since 4th July was a holiday.

The colours are just so gorgeous and so different, I didn't know there were so many to choose from.

SO don't hesitate to buy, I can highly recommend:

Aussie girls the cost worked out at $AUD 23.00 for 20 large sheets, cheaper than buying wrapping paper here in Aus.

I got some this week from sharons friend Lucy in England. Unfortunately she only had a few colours as yet. Not tried it but did buy some red and green organza to go underneath the red and green mylar as not sure if it can be embroidered on alone.

Would welcome advice on this.

You do need material underneath the Mylar to embroider on but I don't think I would recommend organza, it's very flimsy.
You do need special designs, ones that have a minimum amount of fill stitches, similar to some Free Standing Lace designs, but not as dense.
If you visit the website link in my original post you should find instructions for using Mylar, try this link:

Can't wait to see what you do with it all and how it holds up, once you wash it.

Thank you for this advice, I hope that they can send in France. I have not well understood the diffference between colour and opal.
Have you try a embroidery with them?

Yes she is very quick. I got mine in 4 days from ordering and very reasonably priced. I even got a few free samples. I ordered the new color samples to try. Hope you have fun I know I did. I tested some designs and had so much fun watching it stitch out. What bling !!!!

There are two places you can buy it here but, one wants $5 for half a sheet and the other wants $7 for half a sheet! I can't see why we should be ripped off.

Sharon's worked out at $1.15 for a WHOLE sheet, and that included postage.
