To answer your question, yes you could make a photo copy and skip the tracing step. Most artists don't suggest that method because they want to protect their copyright. It is illegal to sell or distribute copies of an artist's pattern! Use your photo copies for personal use only! Best regards, Donna Thanks for leaving a comment Mary!

It's good to know that you have to use special tracing paper and transfer paper for the project. Guess I thought you just laid a piece of carbon paper under what you wanted to trace. Thank you for your help. Love your latest instructions on tracing. It’s good to know that you have to use special tracing paper and transfer paper for the project.

I do need to clarify one thing, however. I have a small home-size photo copier. Can't I just make a copy of the original pattern, then put the transfer paper under it and mark it right on to the wood? This would save the step of drawing it on tracing paper first and only require one time to actually draw over the pattern. Does this work? Thanks for the great hints. Please keep them coming!
