RE: [flasah] Oak Leaf
We all have run into the tracing film problem I'm sure. Unroll it and roll it the opposite
direction. Small plastic clamps help hold the film to the leather, clothes pins might work.
Don't sweat the small cuts, do them last with a #1 X-acto craft knife. What I do when tracing the pattern from the film to the leather is make marks in three or four places near
the edge of the pattern. Once this is done, you will have reference marks to keep the
film and leather lined up...Hank

That Oak Leaf pattern is a little bit difficult. Lots of very small
cuts making it so busy it's sometimes difficult to visualize the objects
from the line drawing. Next I'm going to do a rose pattern.
I'm having problems tracing patterns and transferring them to leather.
The paper is no good and I'm having problems with the tracing film
because after having been rolled up I can't get it to lay flat and it's
impossible to get it transferred without it moving. Is there any method
for securing the film to the leather, or to the line drawing for that
matter?
