This was sent to me today. If you can help, please post here, thanks. I watched an episode of Sew Much More on TV recently where the teacher was making a muslin for fitting a pattern. Under the pattern when she traced it were large pieces of dressmaker's carbon (it was actually waxed) so that as she traced around the pattern on the sewing lines with a tracing wheel, the pattern was transferred to the underside of the fabric. I have searched futilely for large dressmaker's carbon paper on the web. Can someone direct me to a place where I can purchase some? The pieces I find are much too small and are not waxed. MaryW

I use the Burda tracing "carbon"paper comes in packs with 2 different colours white/yellow and red/blue I have only been able to get the white/ yellow packs lately here in NZ which is a pain because I use it to trace off my patterns on to white interfacing. My local fabric shop gets it in for me |
