I feel recognizing this tool really dates me as I use to use one many, many moons ago! LOL

I use something like that to cut lattice strips for pies! Not for quilting!

The paper was in a package with several different colors. I would use the paper to lay on darts and other areas that I wanted to show up when I was just generally sewing, then use the tracing wheel to run over the lines. The sharp points on the blade cut through the carbon paper leaving marks. I still have a couple of these, not sure if I still have the paper or not. Now am I telling my age or what lol. Gerbie
