Wax-Free Tracing Paper

Always test tracing paper on a swatch of the fabric being used to be sure marks can be removed satisfactorily. Use a color of tracing paper close to the fashion fabric and mark on the wrong side of fabric. Avoid rubbing tracing paper with your fingers to prevent smearing. To remove marks, use fabric eraser, brush, damp cloth or machine wash.

1. Protect work surface with cardboard or a cutting mat.
2. Place tracing paper under pattern with colored side of paper toward the wrong side of the fabric. To mark two layers of fabric, place two sheets of paper wrong side together and place under pattern between the two layers of fabric.
3. Transfer pattern markings using tracing wheel.
