I did not use a stabilizer, nor a hoop. Just be cognizant of the tension of your stitches.

I mark BEFORE I make the sandwich. Maybe there is excess marker chemicals in your batting??? When I finish quilting and binding my quilts, I just fill my washing machine with nothing but COLD water then submerge the quilt and let it soak for about 15 minutes, the I set the washer to the spin cycle to get all of that water out, and refill the washer with fresh WARM water and detergent. Sometimes I just use my regular Tide (which some people say is BAD!) but if it's a special quilt I will use Orvus Paste. I get that from the local farmer's co-op. It comes in a 7 pound jug and is used for washing animals. Think: 4-H show animals like cows and horses and dogs. It's made to rinse out easily. It's REALLY concentrated so it only takes about a tablespoon for a large washer full of water so the jug will last a loooooong time!

Originally posted by quiltcreationsOriginally posted by NancyinSTLI 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.
I dind't understand why the soap and rubbing at the back of your traced design.
Rcently I got this tracing wheel, but did't have a clue what this is for. Apart from hand quilting stitches even spaced up, is there any other purpose?
thanks

Tracing wheels were once used in clothing construction with tracing paper to mark seam lines of you clothing. You would slip the paper to the wrong side of the fabric then trace the seam lines on the pattern using the wheel.... Your lines would then tell you where to sew.

Wouldn't that be great.
:shock:
