Recently I bought a laser pen from Floyd and Lizzies quilt shop and drilled a hole thru my long arm machine and fastened it on. The shop told me exactly how to do it. Now I can lay a pattern right on my quilt and using the laser pen to follow the pattern, I can quilt without having to mark or pounce my quilt. THANKS I too would love to see how it was done and where to get your light.[/quote] 8-) |
I just got one, but have not used it yet. Will be in the next couple of weeks. You can also purchase a Neon chalk for the darker fabrics. I bought it because I like the idea you iron it on and it comes off when washed.

I have been researching this for a couple of days. from what I found out the Magic brand is not chalky and less messy. I comes in blue and white powder refills. They recommend an applicator for each color. I think I am going to try one. Do a Google. lots of places sell them and the refills and prices vary. I checked so many places that I forgot who had the best price.

I have used it with success!

Please discribe what this product looks like and where you get it. I ask at Joanns at the cutting table and no one knew what I was talking about. Thank You

You don't pound it. I like it as you can mark as you go and don't have to do the entire quilt. |
Never tried this method. Heard of it. I like the cin and powder idea.

you don't want to use the blue alone! It does not come out of the quilt & can stain. Take a tiny amount of the blue and work it into the white...you just want a hint of color that will show on white surfaces.
