How do draw a design onto your quilt?
#41
The painter's and masking tape method is great as well. I forgot about that when writing the other nite. I started using the blue painter's tape after discovering it was really hard to see the edge of the off-white/tan masking tape when quilting on the same color fabric - duh!! ;)

Do you mean for quilting annabanana?
If so I draw a design onto copy paper using pencil, sew over the lines, run a blunt instrument over the stitching so the paper removes easily........just peels off with no trouble at all.
But it so happens today I'm trying to find out how to copy a picture onto fabric for applique (different situation) and I'm going to buy some white carbon paper from an art shop. I don't know how I will go with this but it's what I'm going to try.
