    For marking quilts, I really like the Pilot Frixion pens, I used to use air erasable pens, but the designs disappeared too quickly for my liking. The Frixion pens erase very cleanly with a steam iron and they don't fade out while I am quilting.

    PRESS and SEAL by Glad is wonderful.
    I use it for so many things other than in the kitchen.

    I also crazy quilt, so when i see something i lay the press and seal over the design and draw!
    I can see without a light or taping it to a window!

    this Christmas Glad came out with Christmas prints, you should of seen the excitement!

    Thank you Holice for your information. I struggle with transfering designs to my fabrics. I find all the many marking pens I have purchased are not satisfactory. And the pounce was useless. It's frustrating to buy another type of marker, only to have it not work adequately.

    Thank you for asking the question. Some great information here. I think next time I will try the press and seal.

    Just make sure you use a washable or disappearing marker. I grabbed a permanent marker and marked it out, stitched it and it left a mark on the fabric when I peeled off the wrap...now an applique is going in that spot...LOL

    do not trust the blue pounce many have reported it does not come out even in washing.
    Also avoid anything chalk like with color in it. Same reason as above.
