You can erase the marker with a piece of batting. This allows you to audition quilting designs without harm to the quilt.
Thanks, I actually have it on my computer and have been drawing for weeks!!! I am new to the quilting aspect of this and it is driving me nuts!!! I just don't now what to do. I see lots of stuff out there that is very intricate and I don't think I am ready for that yet, but I don't want to do a panto either!
I also have some clear plastic, so I guess I should try that too. Maybe it will look different than on the computer.
