A tracing wheel is used to trace a garment pattern (out of a magazine like Burda or Neue Mode or a Vogue pattern) onto tracing paper. Then the tracing paper is cut and placed on the fabric. Fabric is cut along the pattern, then sewn together to make the garment. A tracing wheel can also be used for quilting, to turn a printed quilting pattern (for example designed in a program like www.Pre-Design.eu into a quilt stencil: follow the lines of the printed pattern with the tracing wheel to punch holes in it, place this "stencil" on the quilt and wipe or pounce chalk powder over the paper stencil, to transfer the pattern to the quilt. The pattern will show as dotted chalk lines. Then quilt it free motion with your sewing machine or your long arm quilt machine.
