I wrote 'Front' in permanent marker on one side, so I wouldn't turn it over by mistake. Another quilter recommended using wet erase markers instead of dry. It is a little messier to erase, but you don't run the risk of brushing some filaments off onto your quilt. <br /><br />Looks great! I love my plexiglass sheet. Use it all the time:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11697969731937827088noreply@blogger.com
