After working on a big piece like that, I find I'm happiest when the next quilt needs less detail. I'm doing an all over design now, and it's so refreshing!

It may just be a knee jerk response to something that feels like marking with an ink pen. But I don't think they really go away well, though I haven't tried them. <br /><br />The water and air soluble markers both can wash right out of a quilt, or rather dissolve and rinse away. There should be some care to not heat set them. The blue is notorious for reappearing when it's just been spritzed. This carries the pigment into the batting and then it can reappear. I always plan on a good soaking when I use marker pen. I suppose some folks must have true issues with these pens, as a product has been developed called "Blue Line Eraser" which I hear does get the marks out. I've never had any trouble with them though.Amy @ Amy's FMQ Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18249397590865683398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-23489895248854310352015-09-22T12:02:58.978-04:002015-09-22T12:02:58.978-04:00I'm scared of ink markers!

I would love to trade in my chalk for something that stays put.<br />And congratulations on the huge success of your store opening! You've more than earned it.elizabethdeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530010568818566353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-18423622586932201112015-09-22T11:03:08.917-04:002015-09-22T11:03:08.917-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lolsewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05205287909269361273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-45658458248738750632015-09-22T09:35:21.363-04:002015-09-22T09:35:21.363-04:00So love all of your tips and techniques.
