Whitecroft Dressmakers Carbon Tracing Paper - Pack Of 5

The coloured transfer paper is not only useful for transferring patterns in embroidery, dressmaking and tailoring, it is also suitable for transferring marking to materials such as leather, wood, plaster of Paris, porcelain or paper/board. This makes it ideal for many craft hobbies. So that the transfer of the selected pattern is clearly visible on every surface. When the dressmaking, embroidery or quilting project is completed, the marking lines can easily be washed out of the fabric. Ideal for embroidery pattern transfers. Use together with a Tracing Wheel or with a pen or pencil. If using a serrated Tracing Wheel, then holes are made in the carbon paper.

Instructions: How to use Whitecroft Tracing Carbon Paper

Find a hard, flat surface – then take your fabric, a Tracing Wheel, ballpoint pen/pencil, your stencil, and a sheet of carbon paper. Lay the fabric down, and make sure it’s flat.
Carbon paper has two different sides – one side feels more like paper; and the other has a waxy or chalky coating (on coloured carbon paper, the colourful side is the waxy side). Place the carbon paper on your fabric, waxy side down.
Take your design/stencil and place it over the carbon paper – make sure the design fits within the size of the carbon paper.
With your Tracing Wheel or pen/pencil, firmly draw over your stencil. Be careful not to move the fabric or paper while you’re tracing – or the design will be jumbled and imprint in different places!
Check that you’ve traced over each piece of the stencil – then lift off the paper. The transfer is done!
