Quilting with linen questions.
Hi. I’m working on a patchwork top using a few colours of a nice linen. I have done research on the piecing work and seams etc. I read posts here on QB. But I am going to hand quilt it when it’s ready and I had some questions, 1. Will a lap quilting frame really mess up the linen? I have a plastic tube square style frame that has pressure clips to hold the sandwich. And 2. how would you go about marking up the top for quilting pattern lines? Given I won’t machine wash the quilt. Will gentle hand wash get out tailors chalk?
thanks for any advice!!!
