Does anyone use the old fashioned tracing paper and wheel to make their quilts? There are so many different products out there but I never hear anyone mention these for quilting

my carbon paper is permanent so haven't used that. but have tried to use the wheel when using a paper design, then wanted to use chalk ponce through the holes--didn't work for me, but maybe someone has a suggestion on that?

I think this tool would work good for marking quilting motifs on the top, either for hand sewing or machine sewing. I think some of the carbon papers that are used with the wheel are probably washable. I think the yellow ones were washable. If you use a blue or black carbon paper, like what was used with typewriters, then those probably would be permanent.

A few years ago I bought some new paper because mine was worn out ( at least 25 years old) The new paper was worthless! It did not work worth a squat and I threw it out and continued to use my old worn out stuff. This was not for a quilt but a shirt. The blue paper left a permanent mark on my white fabric. Be careful it does not leave a permanent mark.
