Default Marking a Quilt

This is a unique way of marking a quilt that I thought up myself.

First I select a pattern I wish to transfer to my quilt. In these examples I will mark a single block, but this method can be used for all-over quilting or wholecloth. I draw my pattern out on paper. In this example I will use a pattern from www.patchpieces.com. This pattern is called 'Hominy Star'

I cut a piece of netting the size I need.

I lay the netting over the design. In this picture I've fastened both the design and the netting to a clipboard.

I trace the pattern onto the netting.

I lay the netting on the quilt block, and trace over the pattern with a washable marker.

The pattern is marked on the block.

This final picture is of netting I'm marking for all-over quilting.

I trust these instructions are clear, but if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
