Tips for Using a Hera Marker

[@gigiontube]

Thank you much ! I received exactly this tool and had no clue what to do with it. Now I know 👍

[@QuiltingJetgirl]

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!

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.

[@QuiltingJetgirl]

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!

[@susanmargeson7420]

@@QuiltingJetgirl Yes, I agree. I appreciate your kindness for sharing your techniques.

Thank you Yvonne.

My pleasure!

Thanks Yvonne! I will certainly give this curved marking a try!

[@QuiltingJetgirl]

I have found that it is definitely worth the time to mark the tighter curves. :)

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!

[@QuiltingJetgirl]

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. :)
