Pattern tracers?

[Grihm]

Hi.

Recently, there was a sale at a store i used a few times to buy supplies for leather crafts.

This trip, i bought ( pardon my explenation ) a plastic sheet with tracer lines on that you wet the leather and then apply it on top, roll it down so it leaves marks in the leather, and then you swivel cut it.

These are called a number of things, but stencil or tracers i am guessing is closest. I live in Sweden, and i have had little to no luck in finding more of these. Now.. a few questions.

 

1: Are there any special store that sell these that are of good quality and a wide arrange of patterns?

2: Can you send a picture of a custom made pattern somewhere and get it created as a plastic tracer to be re-used as many times as you want?

3: Are there any other "newer" version or better ways of transfering patterns to leather to be cut in besides this? I cannot draw for the life of me, so i really have use of these.

 

Here is a bag i made with this Oak leaf pattern i traced with first and then cut in. I´m still learning for the record.
