Is there a "perfect" (temporary) marking tool?
From what I have read:
The "perfect" (temporary) marking tool will
- leave marks that stay long enough so that one can quilt the item (or place the applique pieces) however long after it was marked
- will be completely removable
- will never show up after one thinks they have been removed
- do not damage the fabric in any way
- will not turn the fabric a funky color years later
So far, from what I have read - the Crayola ultra-clean washable markers and marking with soap slivers seem to come closest to fitting the above criteria.
