If you are tracing with white pencil then the tracing will come off on your embossing mat. If you are using a rubber mat, keep it clean by washing (I use a bit of hand soap), rinse, dry thoroughly and finish off with a bit of furniture polish. Bounce is the best sheet to use as it is drier than most. However, Sainsburys on brand is a good one to try as well.

It might come off a little sue, dont press too hard, when your tracing the design, then rub both sides over with a bounce sheet, ( i use bounce, others may use another brand, i find this one is not greasy as some can be, ) keep the sheet in a tupperware or similar and it will last forever, each time you do a new design, rub it over both sides incase you need to emboss on front, plus it smells nice. but dont throw the sheet away after use, keep using it, it does sound as if you might be pressing too hard with the tracing, but sone will come off anyway, dont worry. xx

Thank you Lynne for your reply I did do this but when I embossed on the back the outline came off on my embossing mat, I thought I was doing something wrong. I better go and buy some bounce sheets. I cant wait to go home now :)

then rub over with bounce ( tumble drier sheet) and that will make the tool slide better.

For some excellent tutorials check out Wendy Walters website, Gemini Crafts. You will find a list of tutors on the site as well. For a course, I would recommend Pauline Loweths. Pauline has many years of experience and her constructive feedback and help is second to none.
Checkout Parchment Express. You can also look on the Parchment Craft Guild's website for a tutor list. I'm on there as well as on Wendys, but a bit too far from you! :) More than willing to help via e-mail if I can. Be warned...its addictive.
