Marking before quilting - I usually end up complaining to DH or the tears start flowing - total frustration! This time I marked the quilt; the marks did not look right, so I thought I'd wash it (the quilt) and the marks will not come out.
Any suggestions?

Goodness, there's not one thing I really dislike. I guess it's not answering the question, but I really enjoy every bit of it. I just like handling fabric and seeing something come to life. Whether it's the pile of cut pieces or the stack of sewn blocks or the whole quilt, it doesn't matter so much. I just focus on what is building up at the moment. Okay, I do have to admit that I'm not crazy about ripping out mistakes. I don't like undoing my work, I'd rather move forward. And I'll admit that I've never, ever, completed a quilt without ripping some stitches out. Yeah, that's my least favorite part of sewing in general, not just quilting.

My favorite part of quilting is taking my quilt off my longarm...my most favorite part is taking that last stitch on the binding. My least favortie part is the binding as it's hard for me to do close work.
