Marking Quilting/Stitching Lines on 2014 BOM
Janet, what did you use to mark your quilting lines on this quilt? I am always so wary of using something that won't come out. I see that there is now an "iron off" pounce product, but I've not tried it. Also, is the quilting grid used 1/2 inch or 1 inch? Thank you for your help. I LOVE this quilt and my goal is to make it as perfect as I am able to do!Tags: None

Beverley I reckon those must be 1/2" grids because they are so small. I used 1" grid markings for mine wherever I did the grids and they look a lot bigger than Janet's. I have just finished quilting mine and I have to say that the pounce pad was not great because it does not stay on enough to work for a grid. This is a big quilt and once you have the quilt rubbing against itself the pounce pad lines rub off. I had to remark several times. I really found the best thing to be a frixion pen on the light colours and either the Bohin chalk pen or the Ultimate Marking Pencil from Hancy on the dark fabrics. Good luck with it, it's a monster to quilt but if you stitch in the ditch around each sashing to start then you only need to worry about a block at a time.

Beverley, almost all the quilting was done with Hemmingworth embroidery threads - 'Maize', 'Marshmallow', 'Rummy Raisin' and a gold metallic for the snowflakes and the crosshatching in the 9-patches - as well as YLI invisible thread for the SID.
Susan, the book was Birds Without Wings by Louis deBernieres - a very graphic and poetic novel about Turkey during WWI. I have just started listening to The Goldfinch by Donna Tart which is also a great listen.
