After racking my brain with finding a product that would work for me I have tried chalk, school and sidewalk, and the flixster pens which I LOVE but they do not last a extreme amount of time and dont really fit my budget to but alot them, I try to save to support my fabric addiction. Last night while going over my lastest quilting adventure masking tape popped in my head for marking my lines. I havent gotten brave enough to do anything other than stright lines. So far it has worked wonderful. Is there any reason I should not use this and if so anyone got any advice on what to use from items around the house.
You really should post pics anyway. Everyone here is very nice and would give you tips to try that will make your next one easier and ideas that you may not think of. I did and it helped a lot.
