Thanks to all. Please also share suggestions on what could have been done differently. Like for example the school house should have had a higher roof than the house next door. Colors are AWFUL on the first house. It will not hurt my feelings at all. I do love my church.

If you are using a stencil, tie a little cinnamon in a small piece of cloth and dab on the quilting lines. I have never had a stain from this and smells nice while quilting. For dark colored areas use the same method, but use baby powder in the cloth. My grandmother who was born in 1891 taught me this many years ago.

I wanted to say to the OP to make sure you READ THE PACKAGE INSTRUCTIONS. Pressing will cause some marking products to disappear and other products to be permanently set in. Keep your instructions so you don't forget.

I recently completed a wall hanging. I want to fill in the "white" space with hand quilting. I am an avid scrapbooker and used chipboard to cut a design I could find in my home rather than going out and purchasing a pre-made plastic template. I need to draw the design. I have read numerous reviews of chalk, so-called disappearing ink, etc. A little scray. I did not wash the fabric before using. I am afraid if I apply water for it to dry away, the fabric dyes may run. What suggestions can you share with me? Thank you. Karen
