This is an app to use as a tracing table. When in locked mode, gestures such as taps will not work. You can select patterns from the web (URL) as well as images. I made this app to trace embroidery patterns. Since a pattern are on the web, I wanted something that I could lock in web view! It's a very simple app, but it will save you time and frustration. I hope you enjoy it.
