When using a tracing wheel and paper or a washable pen mark the WRONG side of the fabric. I learned to sew in an old fashioned way and just use straight pens to do my marking with. Less to keep around,doesnt leave a mark. I have used a #2 pencil or writhing pen on the wrong side of fabric,but only if it will never be seen (inside a dart,line for a buttonhole that will be cut open later).
Looking forward to seeing your next dress. |
