I have sewn for a few years and I have always just used a plain old pencil for marking pattern pieces and never
had trouble with it not washing out. Then the last apron i made i found the pencil marks were still there by a
pocket and had not come out when i washed it. I took a bar of hand soap and had to scrub it to get out
the pencil mark. I am now not so sure i want to have to worry about that happening on a whole quilt top.
I do like the soap idea. I will have to keep that one in mind.
I worry the chalk would be messy and not stay on very well.
Stillclock what brand of
water soluble blue pens do you use?
I was thinking painters tape would be great for straight lines.
I just wanted to see what all of you were using. Thanks for all the suggestions.
