My return to the world of quilting after taking a 20 year "sabbatical" has not been going smoothly. I broke my machine trying to assemble a quillow. Next I pieced a pretty (IMHO) wall hanging and had endless troubles trying to use fusible batting. After I managed to peel off the puckered batting, I discovered all my stenciled lines and designs had disappeared. I used a purple water erasable marker from Clover. I am a hand quilter and it takes me a while to finish a project. I need ideas for better marking tools. TIA
