There are numerous methods to put designs on the quilt top.
1.Golden thread paper that you draw a design on and stitch through it on the sandwich.
2.Tissue paper that you draw a design on and pin to the sandwich to stitch through (or staple several squares together and stitch the design with an unthreaded needle to make several copies)
3.Buy a stencil and use a pounce and powder to mark the sandwich.
4.Trace your design on Glad Press and Seal with a sharpie and stitch through it. ( make sure the sharpie is dry before using or colour can get on the quilt.)
5.Draw the design on with .....Crayola washable markers, air or water temporary fabric markers, Frixion pens that the lines erase with the iron(sometimes bleaches dark fabric) WITH ANY MARKING METHOD-TEST FIRST ON SCRAPS BEFORE MARKING YOUR TOP.
6.My favourite for medium to dark fabric, WHITE chalkboard chalk that can be remove with a damp cloth. I
use a makeup sharpener to get a nice point. [ATTACH=CONFIG]506763[/ATTACH]
