[QUOTE=Pudge;7598553]Tartan - did you make both the horizontal and the vertical lines in your sample with the hera marker? yes, the cross hatch lines you see are just with the rounded thin edge of the Hera tool (pressing firmly along my ruler edge.)
Charlotte-I can just kind of see the marks on the batt but it doesn't appear to compress the batt.

We were taught in 4th grade how to fold legal and letter paper for mailing and a scoring tool that looked like the hera marker was used to make the creases. The teacher had a basket full of them donated by the local stationary store. The teacher had a fancy one.

"OK - this thread has solved a mystery for me. I inherited a little unknown thing-a-ma-bob which is about 3 inches long - didn't know what it was, but it was found in a box with some old tiny spools of thread. The previous owner was a very skilled quilter, I know that. The little bronze middle piece has Chinese characters marked on the other side. I put it with my sewing implements, thought it was a corner-pusher-outer when I used it to turn some fabric rightside out. Now I think it's a marker for the same function Tartan mentioned. One side has a flat surface, the other side, pictured, is slightly rounded. What else could it be?"
It looks like a hera marker made out of jade and silver to me.
