A piece of carbon about approximately 8&#8243; x 4&#8243; will work well. Fold it in half lengthwise, carbon side out. Then when you need to transfer pattern markings to the wrong side of your fabric (like at a dart), slip the folded carbon paper between the two layers of fabric and trace the lines and markings with your tracing wheel. The carbon will transfer those lines to your fabric! This is a great way to get a very accurate transfer with minimal effort.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a good idea to use the lightest carbon color that&#8217;s still visible, so it might be a little hard for you to see my yellow markings in this photo, but they&#8217;re clear enough for me to see when I sew the dart.<\/p>\n<p>You can re-use your little folded piece of carbon paper over and over again, so keep it in your sewing supplies along with your tracing wheel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is one of my favorite uses for carbon paper and a tracing wheel, and I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever shown it to you. &nbsp; &nbsp; Cut a small piece of carbon paper from your big sheet.
