1. Before using dressmaker’s carbon paper on your garment fabric, test the different-coloured papers on a scrap of cloth.

2. Check that the tracing wheel does not damage the fabric.

3. Place the dressmaker’s carbon paper carbon side up on your work surface. Position your double layer of fabric with the paper pattern attached on top of the tracing paper.

4. Using the wheel, gently trace the detail lines – using a ruler along any straight lines – checking that all are marked.

5. Flip the fabric over, having first removed the paper pattern, and place the dressmaker’s carbon paper under the garment, carbon side up. Use the lines you have just made to transfer markings to the other side of the fabric.
