You can also get a Pounce pad with some chalk. If your design is on paper, punch holes in it by stitching it on your machine with no thread-it makes it a stencil. Then lay it over the area and wipe across it with the pad, not pouncing, just wipe.
Hope this helps,

If you are machine quilting another option is to take butcher or freezer paper, draw the design, score it (do the quilting design on the machine with an empty needle) place it on the quilt where you want it and stitch through. The freezer paper then needs to then be pulled off and in some spots picked out however as far as I'm concerned this works wonders.
If the design is in several places over the surface of the quilt you can clip together up to 8 sheets of freezer paper of the size needed and draw the design once on the top sheet then as you stitch the design will be stitched to the under sheets.
I think there's a quilt on my profile where I used this technique. The pattern is "Baby Crackers" from Alex's book, if you look at the quilting I used this technique with the flowers.
Learned this in Lancaster last year from Carol Blevins (I think) works like a charm.
Happy Quilting!

I just finished a dark quilt which I marked with a tool called White Marking Pen <Fine> by Clover. It looks like a ball point pen. When you first mark it is hard to see, but as it dries, it becomes white. The marks do not come off like they do with chalk. These lines go away when they are ironed. I was told that the lines will also go away if left in a hot car here in Florida. I was quilte pleased with the results using this product. Betty Ann In Rainy FloridaTeri

I just bought a Clover Pen Style Chaco Liner. It has a tapered tip that lets you mark right next to a ruler. I haven't used it to mark a quilt top yet but I can see it would work great for marking grids. I'm not sure how it would work marking curved line like feathers using a lightbox. I need to play with it some more.
