Thank you to everyone for the information on both kinds of pens, chalk, blue pens, painters tape. I will be checking out the painters tape before going to the quilting shop. It will be such a good time with my girlfriend. I have my list and hopefully I will stick to it -- LOL LOL LOL
We are finishing up the purchases for a pattern called Garden Party it is all applique and we will start in Jan. We are so excited.
Thank you again for your speedy responses and Happy Quilting !
