What is the best marking "item" for your quilts?
pounce? Pencils? tailors chalk? soap? something else? |
I prefer soap slivers on dark fabric. Haven't found anything I really like for light fabrics.
|
chalk for dark fabric and disappearing ink markers for lights.
|
I use General Chalk pencils in white or gray. The marks wash out and they are inexpensive. Roxanne's pencils are good marking pencils. Those are the only two I use.
|
Still searching
|
soap slivers for dark fabrics, but for light ones, I use chalk, but don't really like to as sometimes the line is still slightly visible even after washing
|
any time you use a pencil with chalk, i recommend wiping as much off after you quilt. Some use cotton t shirt fabric, terry cloth or a soft brush. I like the plastic brush yu get in the pet section of the store. what doesn't come off in the brushing then will wash out easier.
|
I use soap slivers on dark fabric and regular pencil, very lightly, on lights.
|
I use a plain old lead pencil (no.2, I guess)..it isnt too heavy a color, and it washes out (at least I think it does, I never see it later) and its cheap to use. (and I can always find one)
