I am trying to use a stencil to mark my quilt top for hand quilting and not having much success. The problem I am encountering is whatever I use to trace the design w/gets broken. For example today I tried using a piece of sharpened chalk and the point got snapped off before I even got started. The little space is so tight it either breaks or dulls out my marking tool. I tried using a pounce thing, but it won't show up on the fabric I am trying to mark (it's multicolored). The stencil is one of those plastic type like these

I hope someone understands what I am saying and can help me out. Thanks.
