So proud of myself...not as dumb as i feel sometimes

My seam guide seems to move on me or maybe I’m just not skilled enough but I do better with painter’s tape. Very handy stuff. I'm going to check out the Hera Marker though. I love gadgets.

I haven't used my hera marker yet. Does the crease actually stay in the fabric for a while? Seems like it would disappear too quickly.

I have seen gadgets like that Hera marker and have wondered the same thing

To lady that sent me a message about this post it won let me respond back so I am goin to post my info here. The machine hubby got me was a Pfaff creative 7570 and I have found the books for it but apparently some folks think its printed on gold laced paper and the ones I have found are out of my budget range. My sweet sweet hubby just wen on the fact that I wanted/needed a new machine and that his moms 40yr old pfaff still works like new but I know from reading after purchase that this machine is a workhorse and a good machine but just not as user friendly as some machines. I love it and him for trying so hard. His hobby is chainsaws and he sold his favorite one to get me this machine.

I used to mark my quilts painstakingly drawing lines, but then, Eureka, I discovered that I have an attachment, called a seam guide, for my walking foot that eliminates the need for lines! I draw only one down the middle then I use the tool to keep my lines straight. My tip of the day. Here is a pic of the walking foot with the seam guide Attachment 26184attachment.

Wow what a great idea...I have that attachment as well...I'm going to try that....thanks..

I use a tool called Hera Marker by Clover. Works really well. It makes creases on your fabric to give you straight lines. You can buy it from Nancy's Notions and you might even be able to find it at JoAnn's. : )

Thanks for this...I have a boning tool for paper crafts which is exactly the same thing, I'll have to try it.
