You can get it on rolls, or you can buy a sample envelope with five different colors, including white. Good stuff-- Google it if interested!

But what kind of tracing wheel are you using? The smooth ones don't work at all, from what I can tell. The edge needs to be bumpy/serrated: -- Edited on 6/2/10 6:36 PM -- ------ my shield and my very great reward (Gen. 15:1) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ http://clearingclearing.weebly.com/

I am having an awful time with dritz tracing paper and it not washing out of my fabric...It is really depressing to have a white jecket almost finished only to find that the marks on the inside bleed thru to the outside and I can't remove them...any suggestions?

THe color is so light i cant see it ever, I never sew with White fabric. So as far as it not coming out I am not sure cuz I cant even see the color. ------ Go Sew Something

You can take out one of the wheels and use it to trace normally, but if you ever want to trace a cutting line AND a seam line at the same time, this is one great tool to have. You can move the two wheels around and get a variety of distances between them. (p.s., they don't have 3-fer deals. they just add the prices up and you think you're getting a bargain price!)
