Quilt Marking
Please tell me there's an easier way to quilt X's on blocks, without marking them all!!! I am working on a simple scrap lap quilt, 6 blocks x 7 blocks. I just want to X the blocks. Any ideas!!!

If you're not hung up on having straight lines, you can quilt curved x's and pretend that's what you wanted all along. They'll look great!
|
You could try masking tape - just don't leave the tape on overnight.

There is a special tape on the market that is made for quilting but painter's tape works too. You could also eyeball the lines. I've done one where I used a thin ruler and a hera marker to "draw" the line (or rather make an imprint of the line).
|
I use a walking foot but I always eyeball the lines. Works fine for me.
|
how big are your blocks? you could "mark" a line (an indentation) on them with a Hera marker. I know, it's still marking but nothing to wash out or erase.
|
I'd use tape - masking tape sticks better to fabric in my opinion better than painters tape. Just use a piece a bit longer that your block and then you can just line up the edges of the tape with the points of your block then press it down.
