What are you planning to quilt? Straight lines can be done by laying strips of painter's tape on the quilt top to stitch along. I have cut shapes from the adhesive vinyl shelf liner and stuck the shape on the quilt to stitch around. I have a Fons & Porter pump lead chalk pencil that I like to use on dark fabric but the quilt has to be washed to completely remove the chalk. I also like the blue Quilter's fine point water solvable pen on light fabric.
