Like you, it is a rare, rare day when I can't find a work around to cover up a wobble or gap. :) Much easier than unstitching.Gwyned Trefethenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041159153171283941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-78414856157069206862012-02-01T15:56:07.236-08:002012-02-01T15:56:07.236-08:00Your stitches are looking terrific!

My favorite chalk is Clover's Chaukoliner - or something like that. It works best for long straight lines against a ruler. At least I can see the line!Gwyned Trefethenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041159153171283941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-12547354445246452022012-02-01T11:17:07.501-08:002012-02-01T11:17:07.501-08:00I use the water soluble blue marker (made by Clove...I use the water soluble blue marker (made by Clover). It works great as long as the fabric is not too dark. Then I use a white fabric pencil. Looks nice.

However, when I have a line drawing I want to trace onto the quilt, especially as an afterthought once the quilt is sandwiched, these tools won't work.Gwyned Trefethenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041159153171283941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-87397057193363081202012-01-29T17:21:54.159-08:002012-01-29T17:21:54.159-08:00Eh, a little wobble here and there, no one will ev...Eh, a little wobble here and there, no one will ever know but you. Looks great! I like chalk and the water soluble pens. I don't immerse my quilts either. I just spritz with a water bottle. When It dries, if I need to do it again, I do.I prefer the chalk whenever possible because it just goes away! But hey, I am by no means an expert!:)Danih03https://www.blogger.com/profile/06038011201802847978noreply@blogger.com
