My wonderful husband gave me some great marking pens for Christmas. They are called Frixion by Pilot and come in a variety of colors. You can mark your fabric for quilting and then remove the lines by going over the quilt with a warm iron. It's magic! LOL The funny thing is that my husband was at my local quilt shop buying a gift certificate and happened to see these pens next to the register. He had no clue what they did, but knew that I always love quilting gadgets. I had 3 pens in my Christmas stocking! I love them.
