I seem to remember a thread about this fairly recently (last 6 months or so) but can't find it.
Any suggestions for a suitable material to use for patterns that I can trace around onto leather? I currently use cardboard from cereal packets, which does work fine, but the patterns do wear after a while.
I’m after something that is fairly robust, i.e. it won’t wear too quickly, but needs to be fairly easily cuttable, including curves and I’d like something fairly quick and easy to cut (e.g. a cardboard pattern only takes me a few minutes to make, but a wooden one would probably take a few hours).
I’ve racked my brain but can’t think of anything other than something like a thick version of OHP acetates.
Thanks
Geoff
