Description
Marking Tools Long Nose Maker not only comes in black, silver, and gold, it now comes in ultra-thin black? It has a 1mm tip and a 1-1/2″ reach. The fine point tip is great for marking inside holes, along walls, and cabinets.
It took me a long time to realize that there is no one ideal marking tools.
I used to struggle with marking tools fabrics and my own woodworking furnitures until I realized something:
you need a small selection of tools to properly mark the variety of fabrics you’re likely to sew with.
The purpose of the marking tool is to transfer all the little notations that appear on your pattern, the ones that tell you where to cut, fold, sew, or place adjoining pieces. The pattern instructions work together with these notations to tell you exactly how to manipulate each pattern piece.
I’ll list a few options, the most of which I utilize in one form or another:
Tracing wheel and dressmaker’s paper:
Dressmaker’s paper is something like carbon paper, in that it transfers markings with applied pressure. Place it between your pattern and your fabric, then use the tracing wheel to draw over the lines on the pattern to transfer them to the fabric.
Water soluble pencils:
These look like colored pencils, and come in a range of colors which are suitable for different fabrics. They should wash out of your fabric easily, but always test on a swatch to be sure.
