Marking fabric

Edna Pearl · 2009-09-19T19:35:19+00:00

I thought I'd try my hand at making my own templates out of some plastic I had lying around and an exacto knife. To quote the immortal words of another quilter here in another context: "I'd rather rope goats." And the result is awful.It looks to me like the easiest way to mark fabric is to mark it before I quilt it, using a light box (or, in my case, a glass table-top) to trace the design on the fabric. (Unless, of course, I'm using store-bought templates, which seem to work pretty well.)What say you? (I apologize for re-covering ground that has doubtless been covered a zillion times before, here.)EP

So you're talking about Press-N-Seal made by Glad that one buys at the grocery? It sticks to fabric?

Bridesmaids' dresses? I know weddings nowadays cost a fortune, but surely this is taking economy too far.
