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!

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!

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.
