[quote/]You can still buy that paper now, sad to say I still have some and also the tracing wheel from highschool in the early 70's[/quote]
I still have my old wood handled one with a package of several sheets of different color paper. Haven't used it in forever.

ROFL. He said it was something sharp. LOL. :lol: It has a little curved metal piece on it, what is that for?

Tracing wheels and tracing paper are still sold at most all fabric stores including Jo Ann's, Wal Marts. Hobby Lobby and Michaels. My grandaughters tell me they are still used in their sewing classes and part of their required sewing kits.

It is a tracing wheel used for marking darts and such when making clothing. I have also used it in quilting for marking
placement of applique flowers on black fabric.
All is fair game when quilting!!!!
