Something new for me, I am enjoying getting new stencils for later projects.
The kind of waxed paper I use here ... Sharpies would not mark on, nor most anything. What are you using?
It should work if you draw on the dull side of the wax paper, that's what I do and it works fine.
Are you referring to freezer paper that has one side waxed and the other side dull? All of my waxed paper seems to be the same on both sides. (as in cutrite waxed paper)
OOPS!!!, I'm sorry Judy. I'm looking at my Reynolds Cut-rite and it IS waxed on both sides. Don't know what I was thinking about. Let's chalk it up to a 72 yr old tired brain and bad eysight:>)
However, I do use it to trace (using a black Sharpie and it works. I pin the paper to the fabric and set the stitch length on "0" which makes the paper tear away easily.
