You might try the new Frixion pen by pilot. They are pretty cool! They come in red, blue and black and the markings disappear when ironed. I'm getting ready to quilt one I'm making for my brother-in-law and I too am ready to climb out of the box and will try to do something other than SID. I've stippled on table runners but have not attempted it on an actual quilt. Wishing us both luck!!! :thumbup:
