Over the years, I've seen many
changes in tracing paper. While tailor
tacks have their place in hard–to–mark
fabrics, nothing beats a tracing
wheel and paper for nice accurate
markings. I can't find an effective
paper that doesn't smudge or fail to
mark at all. Please help.

I agree that good tracing paper is hard
to find these days. But there are two
manufacturers in Japan that still produce
great tracing paper that aren't in
the mainstream notions market.
One is manufactured by Clover; it's
called Chacopy.The package includes
10'x12' sheets in five colors. Check
with your local sewing machine dealer
or independent fabric store. If they
don't already carry it, they can order
it. Also check out the major mailorder
notion supply catalogs.
The second product is simply
called Tracing Paper, containing five
sheets that are 100% chalk on paper.
It's distributed by Professional Sewing
Supplies in Seattle, WA. Call
(206) 324-8823 for more information.
