That's why it looks so good.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423024947233260195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46911173514167346.post-3244241148797526132018-09-12T13:27:18.943+09:302018-09-12T13:27:18.943+09:30In the hand quilting that I do, I use a mechanical...In the hand quilting that I do, I use a mechanical pencil which disappears pretty much in my quilting. I've tried others and am leery of the long term use of some of those commercial markers that are supposed to come out... I am concerned about the long term effect of those chemicals.QuiltGranmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225951118220180796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46911173514167346.post-31267554443776908072018-09-10T23:54:35.790+09:302018-09-10T23:54:35.790+09:30I only use the blue pen on things that I know will...I only use the blue pen on things that I know will be washed frequently like a baby quilt. That way I know the lines won't be evident 20 years from now. They are convenient for sure, I guess I just don't trust them long term. I'm guessing your grey lines won't even be evident after quilting. I adore this quilt!Wendy Caton Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122151466664580872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46911173514167346.post-8673521342456344992018-09-10T23:11:46.693+09:302018-09-10T23:11:46.693+09:30Beautiful quilt and so glad to hear that you'r...Beautiful quilt and so glad to hear that you're finishing it up at long last! I use/experiment with marking pens & pencils too. I've used yellow and red chalk once and never will again. Those lines were VERY difficult to remove and some never did. Frixxion pens work pretty well but sometimes they leave a shadow too. I have found Sewline pens and blue wash-out markers to be the best if I have to mark. I think the gray lines on your quilt will not be visible later either due to they're already so light.

I have that book too, very inspirational. I cannot tell you anything about the markings as I have always been too afraid to use these (kind of) pens. I hand quilt too and only use Sewline pencils (grey or white) to mark or a chalk pencil (from the Stencil Co.). Think that once you quilt it , the lines may not show anymore anyway.
