Masking tape or painters tape can also be used to quilt beside so that you don't need to mark your lines for quilting 1/4" from the seam or any echo quilting, especially when doing hand quilting. I use 2" wide tape at a slant when I am quilting a wide border. No marking! For one quilt, I marked a chain pattern on copy paper, pinned it to the wide border, and sewed a straight stitch just as fast as I could sew. It worked beautifully. I plan to try it again.
