marking with templates
#11
I don't know if this is any use to you but I use a regular HB pencil for marking appliqué outlines and to mark through stencils for hand quilting. It stays on forever - but it washes out (in the machine).
Only works on lightish fabrics though, on darker ones I use the silver pencil. :D
BTW - I LIKE your squinty lines! :mrgreen:

I was at Walgreens one day last week and they had a small "travel" iron, marked down to $5.00 so I bought it. You can use water in it or not but I figured it would be good for those small things I want to press and my regular iron is too big sometimes. Check around flea markets, yard sales, dollar store, goodwill, etc. for just a small cheapie iron. Those Clover mini irons are just so darn expensive for the size they are. lol
Nothing cheap about me, huh?
good luck

I'm at work not home where my markers are but I have a fine point blue wash out pen, it marks a good fine line but the very tip seems like they cut it off wrong or something, it's a bit jagged but I can turn it around to the smoother side.
