A good friend of mine draws with Gel Pens on the back of every fabric piece, reproducing the 1/4 seam line, and uses this in hand quilting. Again, not going pass that connection dot in the corner. I hope this helps you. Good luck; try, try again, and you will get it done and learn more by doing it.
