Who could tell me the best ways to mark a quilt? Any help would be appreciated.

A little more information would be needed to answer your question.
In marking a quilt, are you meaning to actually mark a design on it to follow, they have pens/pencils out that you use templates with to mark a design to follow to quilt or make up your design. The pen/pencil markings will wash out or depending on the type will disappear. So marking quilts for what? |

I've used various methods to mark my quilt tops for quilting. I've used Golden Threads paper with the design drawn on it; have also used a product called Quilt on a Roll - not sure if this is the correct title - but it is paper with adhesive strips and the pattern pre-printed. The only drawback to these two methods is the task of picking out all the paper when you are finished!
I just ordered a product made by Bohin called a transfer veil and pen - which looks like it may work nicely for marking a pattern. Hope this helps! |
For dark fabric, my favorite is a sliver of used white bar soap.
I tried using translucent paper once, sewing the design through the paper, but did not like all the tiny pieces of paper I had to pick out of the stitching afterwards. A different type of paper might work better, but I've stayed away from that method ever since. |
I use a quilter's silver pencil for dark fabrics and a fine, hard-lead pencil (art pencil) for light fabrics.

I mark mine for quilting with a pounce pad and a stencil.

I usually use a white chaco liner but I have an older one-I think I read some of the new ones don't come out easily. I have a yellow one that I bought recently and tested it and I couldn't get it to brush out like I can the white. I've used tape but I don't like it.
