found pen to mark charts
The other day in my local quilt shop I found a super marking pen. It
is"Erasable Marvy Fabric Marker". It is a purple color marking pen. The fantastic thing about it, is that on one end of the pen is the marker and the other has an eraser tip....sooooo I mark all of one color, work it, erase the marks and mark the next color. I am using this on a cx that has a lot of color changes and just a few stitches at each color, but frequently another patch of the same color a couple of stitches away. The eraser tip seems to be slightly wet. All I have to do is to just touch the eraser to the mark (for the mark I use just a small dot) and in a few seconds the mark is gone, the spot is dry and the print does not run. With 80 colors (and 80 symbols) in a fairly small space I needed help and this is major help. Not selling them, don't know who makes them, just a very very happy user. Boo |

Boo Makre sure you wash your finished project. I use the washout blue markers and spritz with plain water when my stitching session is done, and wash thoroughly when I'm done (and sometimes while in progress, if it's a large/detailed project). I think she's actually using the marker on the *chart*, not on the stitching ;-) Best wishes, Ericka Yes, she is. But just think about it......you can mark on the chart and then have an unmarked chart later, without ever having to make a working copy, as long as you use this pen. Nifty! Debra in VA |

Papermate also has an erasable ballpoint pen. Tested one this weekend that a
friend was using to do her crossword puzzle. I was amazed at how well it erased.
