Lately I have been using a blue washable Berol pen... that I got from the UK it looks dreadful when on, but washed out well. i will be using it for my next whole cloth quilt - after using the Bic propelling pencil too hard...it left marks in my previous little whole cloth.

I mark lightly, so I sometimes have to touch it up. By the time the quilting is done, it has pretty much disappeared but if any remains, it disappears in the first washing. I'm always amazed when I hear people complain about pencil marks not coming out.<br /><br />For dark fabric I use light colored Prismacolor colored pencils -- they are soft, so must be sharpened often, but they show up well and remove easily.<br /><br />Your applique is so beautiful -- will this be the center of a medallion quilt?Marthahttp://qisforquilter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438365453461518634.post-65426645797131616612011-03-30T04:30:10.352+11:002011-03-30T04:30:10.352+11:00What an interesting post .

For marking quilts I'm still in love with my Crayola Washable Markers, just don't iron the marks...but then I don't iron my finished quilts :0)<br /><br />CrispyCrispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784813169069471560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438365453461518634.post-29094622888306874652011-03-29T23:19:40.311+11:002011-03-29T23:19:40.311+11:00Thanks for the tips.

I have (naughtily) been using lead or graphite pencil, a soft one that tends to brush out easily but I'm sure it would make the fabric grubby looking.<br />For embroidery I have been using Solvy, that I draw straight onto with a fine tipped marker then tack onto the surface to be worked. It has been really good, I am currently using it on a crewel project but I have not dissolved it, just torn away at stitches.<br />Very easy to see and you just stitch right through it. I have not as yet tried it for any forms of quilting, Balitmore, applique or embroidery.Rochellehttp://rochellebuckley.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438365453461518634.post-74248591081750176622011-03-29T20:37:59.684+11:002011-03-29T20:37:59.684+11:00My favorite for non-dark fabrics is a washable gra...My favorite for non-dark fabrics is a washable graphite marker I bought at a quilt show last year. The package warns that darker marks require soap for removal but I always wash my quilts so it is no problem for me. Here's the link http://www.nosliphoops.com/markers.html. I also got the soapstone for marking dark fabrics but am not sold on that one yet.Carol Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846301646769655933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438365453461518634.post-89692107714333850072011-03-29T12:39:23.896+11:002011-03-29T12:39:23.896+11:00When I mark dark fabrics I use a process similar t...When I mark dark fabrics I use a process similar to a hera. Put the fabric on a piece of sandpaper, lay the printed design on top and go over the lines with a ballpoint pen.<br /><br />If you would like a Karisma pencil, I can send you one. That is my favorite. The line is quite fine and the chalk rubs out as you stitch over it.<br /><br />I use the blue marker for quilting often. Chako Ace makes one with two points of different sizes. I can remove the ink with a spray bottle of water or a paintbrush with water. They also make one that has ink that disappears with time but in the summer when it is humid you have to work fast.Julie Fukudahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704374750710761269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438365453461518634.post-31148413016696532792011-03-29T12:13:23.822+11:002011-03-29T12:13:23.822+11:00I just recently purchased a Clover white marking p...I just recently purchased a Clover white marking pen. Removes the marks when you iron. I have been testing it on scraps to make sure. One of my oldest marking tools is a simple soap sliver. You know those small flat pieces of soap that are leftover..I let them dry out and then use paper cutting scissor blades to sharpen the long edge of the soap. Just make sure the soap is oil free. It has usually worn off by the time I have completed my quilting. I also like General's chalk pencils, they too wipe off easily. That's it..Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253756340917774130noreply@blogger.com
