Not a silly question. Have you seen the no-marking method? Check Geta's
tutorial. You might want to practice on scraps first and see how you like it.

It seems that I am on the quest of the quilter's equivalent of the holy grail. I am about to start quilting my first quilt top and was told my the tutor at our quilting group to lightly mark it with an ordinary pencil. Not keen on this so have been looking for other advice. Love Get's idea of using paper. Will definately try this. Thanks for adding this link. :lol:
