Hi Arachnids When I learned patterned drafting with Pam Nottingham she reprimanded me when I was drawing the guidelines in pen. She told me to ALWAYS draw in pencil first in case you make a mistake and you can correct it easily at this stage. Then trace over it in ink and, when the ink is dry, erase all the pencil lines that could otherwise transfer to the lace and soil it. I have gratefully followed her advice ever since.
I wonder where you got your heelball Maureen. Was it part of that box I got from my local shoe mender? It was his last one tucked right at the back of the shelf.
