Tracing Wheel

A tracing wheel has multiple teeth attached to a handle and is used to make markings on fabric for alterations. Tailor's chalk is a chalk-like material used to mark fabric alterations that can be brushed or washed away. A soft pencil will make a darker line than a hard pencil and are marked with letters and numbers to indicate their degree of softness. Tracing paper is a low opacity paper originally used for tracing drawings but now used for other purposes, with its transparency achieved through its cellulose fiber content and production process.

Tracing Wheel

A tracing wheel, also known as a pattern wheel, pounce wheel, and


dart wheel, is an instrument with multiple teeth on a wheel attached to a
handle. The teeth can be either serrated or smooth. ... Such markings
might include pleats, darts, buttonholes, notches or placement lines for
appliques or pockets.

Tailor Chalk
Tailor's chalk (uncountable) A chalk-like material used for marking
alterations on fabric in tailoring and dressmaking. The marks are brushed
or washed off the material when no longer needed.

Soft Pencil
A soft pencil will make a darker line than a hard pencil. Soft pencils are
usually marked B, plus a number to indicate the degree of softness—3B
is softer and blacker than 2B.

Tracing Paper
Tracing paper is paper made to have low opacity, allowing light to pass
through. It was originally developed for architects and design engineers to
create drawings which could be copied precisely using the diazo
copy process it then found many other uses. The original use for drawing
and tracing was largely superseded by technologies which do not require
diazo copying or manual copying (by tracing) of drawings.
The transparency of the paper is achieved by careful selection of the raw
materials and the process used to create transparency. Cellulose
fibre forms the basis of the paper, usually from wood species but also from
cotton fibre. Often, paper contains other filler materials to enhance opacity
and print quality. For tracing or translucent paper, it is necessary to remove
any material which obstructs the transmission of light.
