I usually mark my lines with a Hera marker by Clover.

As I go along, I keep rechecking that my lines remain straight. I will use painter's tape to mark my reference lines.

and most sewing machines come with that silver L shaped tool. The long side inserts just above the foot and you set it at any width you wist. Sew the first line and then line up the short side with the sewn row and just work your way across that way.Even my 1800's treadle came with one .

I love crosshatch quilting. It looks good on all quilt patterns. For all over cross hatch I use this to have exact lines marked. I start marking in the middle from corner to corner. The straight edge ruler is 2 1/2" wide. It is very inexpensive too. I have the 4ft and 6 ft. one. http://www.lowes.com/pd_119896-52044...11480006281312
I use a chalk marker to run down the length of the ruler on both sides. Then move the ruler to the right or left and mark to the opposite corner then repeat from the middle to the other corner. I get straight lines evenly spaced every time.
