How to mark quilting pattern on fabric that has a black and white pattern print?

Written by admin on March 19, 2010 – 11:32 am -

I am working on my first quilt and I am trying to draw my quilting pattern onto the quilt. I chose fabric that is white filligree flowers on a black background – so drawing on the quilt is taking forever because I have to switch between two colors constantly. Does anyone know of something that will show on both the black and white and still come out when I’m done quilting? Thank you so much in advance!

    I use this in yellow – http://www.connectingthreads.com/ChacoLiners_TDChacoLiner.html

    The pencils need a hard surface to make a good mark.

    Which ever method you choose, be sure the marker has been brushed away before pressing as this may permanently set the marks into the fabric.

    I think you can use a completely different or contrasting color of washable markers. Then it would be easier for you.
