Chalk marks smudge, pencil marks can be permanent, and freehand guesswork costs fabric. Dressmakers tracing paper is the reliable solution — and this Prym version is a straightforward, well-made choice from one of the most trusted names in haberdashery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed together with a toothed or smooth tracing wheel, the paper transfers markings of all kinds directly to fabric and other materials quickly and accurately. At 82 x 57cm per sheet, it offers a generously large surface that's big enough for transferring even large pattern pieces in one go — no piecing together smaller sheets or repositioning mid-transfer. The yellow colour shows clearly on most light to mid-toned fabrics, making the transferred lines easy to follow while cutting and sewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll traces of the transferred lines can be removed by washing or dry-cleaning the fabric, so there's no need to worry about marks showing on the finished garment. Used correctly, the lines stay put during construction but wash away cleanly once the work is done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs well as fabric, the paper is suitable for transferring markings to other materials including leather, wood, plaster, porcelain, and card — making it a useful addition to the craft room beyond dressmaking alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold as a pack of 2 sheets. A tracing wheel is sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I use dressmakers tracing paper?\u003c\/strong\u003e Place the tracing paper coloured side down on the fabric, position your pattern piece on top, then run a tracing wheel firmly along the pattern lines. The pressure transfers the colour from the paper to the fabric. For best results, work on a firm surface and apply even pressure throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the marks wash out?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — all traces of the copied lines can be removed by washing or dry-cleaning. Always test on a scrap of your fabric first, particularly with delicate or dry-clean-only materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need a specific type of tracing wheel?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both toothed and smooth tracing wheels work with this paper. A toothed wheel gives a dotted line that's easy to follow; a smooth wheel gives a continuous line. Which you use is largely a matter of personal preference and the fabric you're working with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs yellow the right colour for my fabric?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow shows well on most light to mid-toned fabrics. For very pale or white fabrics, a darker tracing paper colour may be easier to see. For dark fabrics, a white or light-coloured tracing paper would be more appropriate — worth bearing in mind if you're working across a range of fabric weights and colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size are the sheets?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each sheet is 82 x 57cm, and the pack contains 2 sheets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be used for things other than fabric?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — it's also suitable for transferring markings to leather, wood, plaster, porcelain, and cardboard, making it a handy all-round craft tool.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Habico","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56956199076215,"sku":"610463","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0076\/2288\/5428\/files\/dresstrace.jpg?v=1774952820","url":"https:\/\/craftandcanvas.co.uk\/products\/prym-dressmakers-tracing-paper-yellow-82-x-57cm-610463","provider":"Craft and Canvas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
