Any 100% cotton fabric should work. Sizing is not needed.
The nature of fabric being different from paper works best if the
coating mixture is soaked through rather than in but not all the way
through, as with paper. The cost to pay for the translucent quality of
the fabric is the use of additional chemistry.
