It is also great for those who finger press and my neighbor makes home made cards. She uses it for scoring to help with prefolding. She makes boxes out of the inexpensive shirt boxes and uses her Hera on those to score.

I wonder if the Hera marker would work better with NON-starched fabric?
I starch all my fabric so maybe that's why I can't get those marks to show well.

House of White Birches publishing must have sent these out by the millions in the 1980s.
I know mine as a bone fid for some reason, and have used it lots of times for marking small quilts.

I still have the little cutting mat they sent out except I use it in the kitchen.

I have one that came in a box of used notions and now I know what it is, thank you.

Thank you so much. I've had one in my sewing room for 6 years and haven't used it. Now I will. What a great group this is.

I use mine quite often but I tend to forget about it. It does work well so I need to get it out & put it where I can see it & then I'll remember to use it! lol Thanks for the info.

I use it all the time for marking lines. You have found a great tool.

Thank you for this post. I've had one of these for years and couldn't figure out how to use it.

I remember all those free notions sent in the mail! I remember at one national quilt show one quilter had made earrings from the hera markers White Birches sent out. LOL Everyone knew what they were at first sight. White Birches had a great marketing. The company was bought out by Annies.

I think I may have at least 1 or 2 Hera markers that I probably got for renewing a quilting magazine years ago, but have never used it.
