    Default Marking sew lines with tape

    Don't know if anyone else is doing this, but I find it to be a real time saver. Instead of marking straight lines on my quilt, I'm using the 1/4" tape I bought years ago as a hand quilting tool. Much quicker than marking the fabric, much more visible than marking, the tape isn't terribly expensive and you can reuse the pieces several times. I'm quilting a 4 patch, alternating with squares of focus fabric. I did all the SITD around the blocks, now I'm doing the diagonals.

    *Note the SNTD (Stitch NEAR The Ditch) quilting. Am I wrong to let that go???
