This is probably a really easy answer but I searched through archives and didn't feel like I found it..
When I make a diaper I take my pattern and trace it onto whatever material I'm using. Then I do that two more times on two other fabrics per diaper. Then I cut them all out with scissors.
Today I'm getting a rotary cutter and mat - I don't mind picking up magnets and a metal sheet layer at the hardware store too. And I'm going to get fusible interfacing to strenthen my pattern.
But my question is, am I not supposed to be tracing my pattern constantly? I rarely hear anyone say they are and usually not in the same context I'm speaking of.
So, do you trace?
