FleurBleue mentions the "Pilot Frixion" pen. I haven't heard of this but it sounds interesting.
Can you tell us who it is made by? |

My friend has a plastic tool especially made for marking as you go, for hand quilting, she can't remember the name of it, no brand name on it, and she has had it a long time over 25 years she said, the mark is only a crease which eventually goes away by it's self! I am quite taken with it and wondered if there is a similar thing on the market for todays quilter, especially since I am enjoying hand quiting.
My friends marker tool looks a little like a plastic pate knife! Gal |

OMG yes it is, I have never seen these before, I have not seen them in our shops here in NZ, my friend got hers when she lived in Australia! I shall hunt one down thank you so much for posting the link I really appreciate it, I have seen this in practice and it is great, you would not think a simple thing could work so well!
Many thanks! Gal |
The Bohin Mechanical Chalk Pencil is great! I marked an entire border without the chalk breaking once! I don't have any luck with the regular chalk pencils...they break as soon as I finish sharpening them. The other markers I've tried seem to dry out quickly.

Many thanks! Gal If you want, you can pay me through Paypal and I'll buy it and mail it to you. PM me if you're interested. |
Karen and Gal,
I also use the Hera Marker, especially for marking grids. It works great and I can really recommend it. |
Silly question - but, do you use the hera before you sandwich? It seems as if it would need a hard surface.
Thanks. |
No, I use the hera on after putting the layers together and basting. For me it works better when the surface is soft.
