Random Quick Tip!

Marking Quilt Lines
You can use heat removeable pens that are made for fabric when marking your quilts. When you apply heat from an iron and the marks will go away. This works especially well when you plan to wash your project, such as a quilt. Once washed, the marks will never come back. Some say the marks will come back when very cold but if you wash the item, you are washing away the ink so the marks will never come back. Make sure the package you buy, says they are for fabric, however. I have a quilt, that I used them on the center block on, and washed the quilt. The room that the quilt is in, gets very cold. The marks never came back.
