Such a clever idea. I'll have to remember that one.

Thanks for sharing, this is a great idea. I also do mostly pantographs and find that for me it is easier to work from the back. Hoping to change that in the future - but who knows

Hmmm - don't have a long arm but I have pieces of plexiglas - and I would think washable fabric markers would work, too. You definitely gave me some ideas. Thank you for the in depth tutorial. :-)

I read on another site to wrap the edges of the plexiglass with duct tape. This acts as a "STOP" sign at the edges so you don't mistakenly mark off the glass and onto the quilt.
