I use crayola washable markers almost exclusively to mark tops for quilting. There are enough colors to show up on almost every fabric. I've never had a problem washing them out, but I'm very careful not to iron over them.

Brilliant!

I really like soap slivers for marking on dark fabric. I know it will wash out if I don't iron over it. The only real problem is keeping my neatnik daughter from throwing them out.Comment

Gee, my problem with this is getting my 3 little boys to use soap!! :!:Comment

Also the washable markers make fun hair colors! DGD has light hair and loves to streak her hair pretty colors.

I used soap slivers years ago for something or other. Liked the permanent impermanence of it.

OK. Now there will be a run on washable markers by the silver haired quilters! :lol: :lol: :lol:Comment

A friend of mine marked a king size blue and white quilt with an orange Crayola marker. I wanted to die when I saw it! But just like you say, it all washed out completely, she was able to see her quilting lines very easily, and I was impressed. But I guess I've still been to nervous to try it myself. I am inspired now! Especially want to try it on the grey hairs!!!!!! Ha!Comment

ipquilter, did you ever experiment with ironing over the markings to see if they would come out?Comment
-
No, actually, I didn't. I was more concerned about them washing out, so that's what I tested for. I do my hand quilting in a hoop so I need something that will stay on till the stitching is done. Because we have a dog and my DH and I smoke (I know-shame on meOriginally posted by bondgirlquilterops: ) I wash all my quilts after they're finished. The price is right, too, especially when school supplies go on sale.

I use my scanner to copy and my PC to size quilting designs just right and print them onto regular printer paper. Next, for med/dark colored fabrics, I rub soap heavily all over the wrong side of the paper ensuring that the quilt design is completely covered. For light colored fabrics I use a silver quilter's marking pencil instead. Then I use my tracing wheel to trace the design onto the quilt. One advantage is that the little dots made by the tracing wheel are evenly spaced and will help a handquilter evenly space the quilt stitiches.Comment

ipquilter and NancyinSTL -- thanks for two wonderful tips. They're one of those wonderful, "Why didn't I think of that myself?" ones. Brilliant.Comment

Hi Louise! You're welcome! I wish I could say it was an original idea, but I picked it up somewhere. Probably from QNM-that's where I get most of my info since Simply Quilts is gone now. :wink:Comment
