Mood's "Tracing Paper” category features two highly reliable options. The first, Dritz Wax Free Paper, comes in convenient packs of 5 sheets and provides a smooth, high-visibility surface—ideal for tracing over both tissue patterns and reusable muslin. The second, Strathmore 300 Series Transparent Parchment Tracing Paper, arrives in 50-sheet sets and offers crisp clarity with every use. Both types ensure your lines remain visible while staying removable by erasing or washing, offering lasting accuracy and reuse.

How to Choose the Right Fabric Tracing Paper for Your Sewing Projects

Selecting the right tracing paper depends on your process and the types of patterns you're working with. If you frequently copy patterns, the more economical Strathmore rolls strike a balance between volume and precision. For draft work, adjustments, or layering over traced lines, individual Dritz sheets offer versatility and responsiveness. Using high-quality tracing paper helps maintain clarity in your alterations and ensures your final cuts are as accurate as your designs demand.
