Guys, I want to trace my track plan from the paper overlay onto the foam below and I've seen this thing that looks like a sprocket on the end of a handle. Any ideas where I could find one? I've looked at all the arts and craft stores and searched on the internet but have come up empty... well, not entirely... I did find out a lot about the tools needed to make pizzas and 500 ways to make a pizza.

Look in a fabric store. I think they are called a pounce wheel. Any way, they are used to trace the cutting pattern to the cloth.

Micro Mark also carries them. They are useful for scribing rivets in thin stock.

I just got a new Micro Mark catalogue and don't remember seeing one. Obviously I did not look closely enough.

I just use a nail to transfer track plan(s) onto foam. Just push the nail through every inch or two.

I do not work for Lee Valley, but I am a very happy customer. They have some great stuff there, and their service is second to none.
