I never liked using the hera marker as I had trouble seeing. This has two terrific hints that may cause me to change my mind (batting & lighting). Thank you!
By layering the batting under the quilt top, it allows the top to bend more, making a bigger / deeper crease that will last longer and be easier to see. And I absolutely understand that seeing the lines can be darn near impossible. When I figured out that direct lighting was the culprit it made a huge difference for me! I hope these tips help you, too. :)
Thank you much !
I received exactly this tool and had no clue what to do with it.
Now I know 👍
Yay! Happy quilting!
Nicely done, Yvonne! I use a Hera Marker as well. The tip about side lighting is such a game changer. Thank you!
Thank you, Amy!
Thanks Yvonne! I will certainly give this curved marking a try!
I have found that it is definitely worth the time to mark the tighter curves. :)
I just came across you and your videos. I really enjoyed your videos and subscribed to your channel. I will start using my Hera Marker. Thank you.
I hope you find it to be a useful tool. Happy quilting!
Thank you for your discussion. I have never used my Hera Marker for pre-marking lines. I have used pencils and protractors. I like your method.
What I like most is that using the Hera Marker this way, I never have to worry about trying to get pre-marked lines washed off a quilt!
@@QuiltingJetgirl Yes, I agree. I appreciate your kindness for sharing your techniques.
Thank you Yvonne.
My pleasure!
