Yeah, me too. I'm so tired of spending money on pens and markers that dry up before I get my money's worth!!! :x

This past week I actually used a washable marker to mark around a plastic template onto my fabric. I know it will wash out, and it will be inside a seam, so I am not concerned. It worked really well!!!

You can also use baby powder, corn starch, or regular flour for marking. I prefer baby powder then give it a light spray with AquaNet hairspray to hold it. But you will have to wash the quilt when you are finished.
That is FANTASTIC!!! Thanks so much for that tip.
