Maybe I'm dumb to be concerned about that (who says my quilts won't be rags or unwanted/used in 50 years?) but I do think about it... I know a lot of the marking pens have been in use for quite a long time, but it still makes me uncomfortable. My hera marker is one of my favourite tools too! <br /><br />On the practise thing, I feel the exact same way! I've got a few simpler/older quilt tops that I keep telling myself I'll learn to quilt on, but I somehow never get around to them.Clumsy Chordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204492212036258930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823830150304798670.post-89787247223236762162015-08-20T10:47:26.051-04:002015-08-20T10:47:26.051-04:00I do pre-wash my quilts, but I prefer not to use a...I do pre-wash my quilts, but I prefer not to use any kind of chemicals in the things I make - what if 50 years from now we all have rotting fabric along those marked lines?

Especially with the recent Frixion pen controversy, I've been looking for an easier way to mark things. And I also love that you don't like to wash your quilts before gifting them. I thought I was the only one!Jenn @ A Quarter Inch from the Edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657846734631422153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823830150304798670.post-6009511818794644992015-08-17T10:27:43.871-04:002015-08-17T10:27:43.871-04:00This looks like a wonderful tool!
