a tracing wheel
A tracing wheel is used to trace a garment pattern (out of a magazine like Burda or Neue Mode or a Vogue pattern) onto tracing paper. Then the tracing paper is cut and placed on the fabric. Fabric is cut along the pattern, then sewn together to make the garment. A tracing wheel can also be used for quilting, to turn a printed quilting pattern (for example designed in a program like www.Pre-Design.eu into a quilt stencil: follow the lines of the printed pattern with the tracing wheel to punch holes in it, place this "stencil" on the quilt and wipe or pounce chalk powder over the paper stencil, to transfer the pattern to the quilt. The pattern will show as dotted chalk lines. Then quilt it free motion with your sewing machine or your long arm quilt machine.

Tracing Wheel (I know, this worksheet is the worst)
After cutting out the fabric pieces place the chalky side of the tracing paper facing down on the wrong side of the fabric with the pattern piece on top pinned correctly. Then use a tracing wheel slowly running it over the markings you are tracing. Lift a corner to check markings have transferred if not try again applying a gentle force.

For tracing, you will need tracing paper and a pencil. Often times it is helpful to also have some sort of clipboard, tape, or tacky material to keep the tracing paper in place. If you're looking to do more heavy duty tracing, you can invest in a light board, which will shine light through regular paper, allowing you to see what you're tracing.
