I use regular chalk, like the one used on chalk boards. Sharpen with larger pencil sharpener. Brush off or wash off. I use just white. Cheap.!

I am reading Mary Mashuta's book Foolproof Machine Quilting: http://www.amazon.com/Foolproof-Mach...509789&sr=8-11 She does not recommend marking a quilt but suggests other methods of marking (like tracing a template onto shelf paper and sticking that onto the quilt top to stitch around). I did my first ever machine stitched "star" using this method and it turned out great.
In addition to using the template/shelf paper method I also use a Heramarker and painter's tape for straighter line stitching or cross-hatching. Anyway, that's my 2 cents.... |
Usually just a regular pencil. No problems so far.

I use ordinary chalk. Rubs off easily and very inexpensive.

A friend of mine just got some sort of pencil thing we had seen at a craft show - it is really really cool I want to say it is crystal or something weird like that. It's driving me nuts that I can't think of the name of it!
I have only free motioned so far although that quilt frame/machine/robotic carriage is calling me... I'm hoping to make friends with it this month. Sure would be nice to finally get to use it!! (time has not been my friend lately) |
