I'm losing weight so tracing is the way to go for me because hopefully I be smaller the next time I sew the skirt pattern :)CarlaF-in Atlantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08645265029528219794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704085174347222254.post-27062085103767981202010-11-26T20:09:52.161-05:002010-11-26T20:09:52.161-05:00I'm a pattern junkie and I hardly ever use the...I'm a pattern junkie and I hardly ever use the same pattern twice. Often I leave patterns around the house for days (or weeks) on end, and people end up stepping on them and ripping them. Then I just sticky tape them back together. So no tips from me today.katherine hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314030133556269765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704085174347222254.post-27162012695765431212010-11-26T19:43:13.349-05:002010-11-26T19:43:13.349-05:00usually my patterns that become TNTs have already ...usually my patterns that become TNTs have already been traced onto swedish tracing paper (i used to get it through debbie cook's kwik sew co-op, and have tons of the stuff!). most of my TNTs are indie patterns (i trace those off to begin with). if it's a big 3 pattern, i trace it onto STP, once i deem it worthy of becoming a TNT.mamafitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00532203067920083845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704085174347222254.post-11621053852463085442010-11-26T17:36:29.157-05:002010-11-26T17:36:29.157-05:00I trace most of my frequently used patters onto ti...I trace most of my frequently used patters onto tissue paper that is taped together. <br />This is easier because: <br />1.I can have just one size per patter, rather than 3<br />and 2.It saves my original pattern.<br />Sometimes when I make several sizes of the same pattern, I will use a different color tissue paper for each size. This helps when trying to find a certain size.Sarah E.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704085174347222254.post-657756260803551582010-11-26T14:33:24.271-05:002010-11-26T14:33:24.271-05:00I trace any pattern that needs an adjustment or ha...I trace any pattern that needs an adjustment or has potential for multiple uses.

It is available in hardware stores. I get the 10'x100' rolls (at Home Depot--NA--for about $42 a roll). I have plenty for pattterns and for other work around the home and garden and a roll seems to last forever. All it takes is scotch tape to make alterations. I never cut into the pattern.patsijeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362426384481772370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704085174347222254.post-37526998972654484912010-11-26T12:00:01.136-05:002010-11-26T12:00:01.136-05:00I reinforce patterns showing signs of wear with in...I reinforce patterns showing signs of wear with inexpensive packaged interfacing. Even the light weight type works very well for this when fused directly to the pattern. Or, I trace the pattern onto pattern paper making sure that I also transfer grain lines and all other markings and notches.Faye Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781186043996633965noreply@blogger.com
