Papering over emulsion

I have emulsioned a newly-plastered wall. My question is, as it's just matt emulsion, can I just size it and then wallpaper it or do I have to sand the walls first?
I'll never be a Money Saving Expert while my kids are Mony Spending Experts.

You will not require to ' size ' the areas are now SEALED . always sand before papering, use P120 nothing worse than looking at small pimpels grinning through wall coverings

I should imagine it's a grade of sandpaper “You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.”0

Hi I'm a paint/decorator and I use a fine grade sandpaper a 1000 grade, don't forget to wipe the walls after to remove all of the dust as this will stop the paste adhearing to the wall.0
