Creating designs on a cloth isn’t as easy as it seems. You have
to be careful while marking the design to avoid an error later. With the availability of quilt stencils for machine quilting,
the task of designing has become a little easy than before. However, when you
work on a quilt, without using a machine, you need a marker or pencil to draw
or create a design precisely. In addition to this, you have to keep in mind
whether the fabric is light or dark in color to avoid reappearing of these
marks later.
When you want to choose the best
quilt marking pencils for making quilts, try the following
tests that will help you in deciding.
Draw the lines on your
dark-colored fabric using white marking pencils. Check which pencil leaves a
bright white line that you can see clearly. This helps to reduce the time to go
over the same line again and again. Also, when you see clearly, you can create
designs with precision. In addition, you must look for a pencil with a fine
point when you sharpen it.
When you have created the lines,
brush your hand over the fabric to see when the lines get smudged. Mostly lines
get blurred or brushed away. Therefore, look for the pencil that creates marks
that stay crisp and clear even after you put or brush your hand over it.
