Sewing Wheel {stitching tip}

The rolling wheel is one of my favorite sewing tools as of late. I have been on a quest to understand and conquer the Burda pattern. This road lead me to visit my local fabric store where I found two objects: the smooth rolling wheel and wax-free tracing paper. These two tools are wonderful for transferring pattern markings, like dart lines. Neither tool, however, is exactly convenient for transferring Burda patterns. The smooth wheel lacks the handiness of adding a seam allowance. However, there is a tool that is both convenient and handy, and in my view essential, the double wheeled adjustable rolling wheel. This tool can be adjusted to add seam allowance without having to do nasty math.   Should you wish to invest in sewing wheels, let me suggest the ergonomic versions like the white and green examples.  The blue is the cheapest kind that can be found, and just not comfy or durable as the others.
