When do you mark quilt lines on your quilt tops?
#2
I hand quilt. I usually mark after I put the quilt in the frame, because I'm anxious to get quilting. However, with my last quilt I marked crosshatching before I sandwiched the quilt - it took more patience than I thought I had, but it looks straighter than when I marked in the frame.

I'm another hand quilter and have marked at various times - before sandwhiching; after basting; not at all if I'm doing ITD or echoing. I find it easier to mark as I go most of the times so the markings don't rub off with all the handling.
