Can anyone recommend a marker, chalk, whatever, that can easily mark fleece? I have what is most likely carpal tunnel syndrome, and both my arms/wrists are almost constantly in pain and sometimes swollen, so I need something that I can apply the least amount of pressure to get the markings to stand out. thanks Laurie |

I bought one of the markers that fade. Seems to work not too bad.

Two ideas here. One, clip whenever you can, especially on the side notches and dots. Two, use your machine to make "tailor's marks" or long basting stitches you can easily pull out. That should be easier on your fingers than pinning. I got out some fleece and couldn't find any of my marking pencils or chalks to work. Good luck and let us know if you find something that works for you. Lennie |

I can't get my pencils or chalk to work without having to apply a lot of pressure. I remember seeing a product on a website that sold chalk that would easily mark on fleece, but I can't find it now. I found it thru a link someone posted in these forums, but now I lost it! Ack! A fat marking pen would do, but I can't find one. |
