I was finally able to get a piece of chalk to work w/the stencil (thanks to those that said use a hard surface!). I also finally got some Crayola washable markers (ultra clean), and they worked too! I want to look into some of the other things mentioned because I like to have options :thumbup:.

Thank you everyone for the help!

BTW, when using the washable markers do I just complete the quilt then wash to get the marks out? I guess what I mean is if it takes me a while to finish the quilt will the marks still come out after sitting so long?
