I was just thinking that the Clover hera marker would work well.

A nice tip, and a great improvisation for those of us with bumpy tracing wheels. You guys are the best! Can't wait to try this!

You're right, I tried it with my serrated tracing wheel and it worked great - such a simple thing but it sure is a help.

It's been a long time since I used my tracing wheel for anything - will have to dig it out. I learned something new and found a new use for an old tool. Thanks!

A new use for the Hera Marker! I bought a Hera marker several years ago at one of JoAnn's "Notions Wall" sales and it sat in my tool drawer for a long time before I dug it out a while back to mark some straight quilting lines. Now I wonder what took me so long to start using this gem.

Thank you for posting this. I will have to go dig out tracing wheel that I used some 35 yrs ago in high school Home Ec class.
