 Mark No More

By Jan Magee

Your quilt top is done; you're eager to start quilting. Before you turn in for the night, you place a marking pencil under your pillow and pray that the quilt fairy will visit during the night to mark the top for quilting. You know the one--she uses a magic pencil whose marks disappear automaticallly the moment the quilting is done.

If you've ever wished for a quilt fairy, you'll want to master these machine-quilting techniques that require no marking of the quilt. That means no worries about mark removal, either.
