stitch from mark to mark
Well, I'll be dipped. I finally have in my hot little hands something that
will mark the dots. Recently, someone here (bless your heart) suggested the mechanical pencil with yellow lead from the office supply department - mine is from Wal-Mart. I had tried every method sold as a quilter's tool and none of them worked for me. Not on dark, medium or busy cotton prints. Not when trying to make a dot through Mylar or Templar or whatever it is that I use. Well...tried to use. I can't explain it. Who cares? I don't even know what their "real" purpose might be. But ! the mechanical pencil, as unlikely as it sounds, is a keeper. Don't even think about taking it away from me, the 'gators have been alerted. Polly |

I wouldn't dream of trying to sneak past your gators. I might have tried to
put them into hibernation, dumping some of our snow upon their unsuspecting heads but since they have a higher purpose, such as chomping stupid medical types, I will leave them be and simply ask you what is the brand name of this miraculous marking mechanical pencil, please.

I'm reluctant to recommend the brand, it's marketed by Sanford and named
"ish". I only tried it about a dozen dots. I don't know how well it would work on 1,000's - but it might, it just might. Nothing else has. And I don't know anything about this brand but at least we are finally getting somewhere. Ah, yes. Polly "Sherry Starr" wrote in message news:%XETb.165829$sv6.904753@attbi_s52...

Oh, I'm glad that works for marking...!..I was in Walmart and picked up one
of those pencils and refills and didnt think they worked all that great on paper !!...But...maybe they were meant for US quilters !!!!....I kept the container for the leads....it says the brand name is -ISH , they are 0.7 thick lead, Erasable Colored leads..Acid free....and in the refill pack you get 2 each of : green, blue, violet, pink, red, orange and 2 refill erasers. Also, says "Awesome on black"... I have the pink lead in one and tried it on dark paper but didn't think it was 'awesome'...but was readable . Mary " Well, I'll be dipped.

I take the full set everytime I teach handquilting, applique or hand piecing and my students fall in love. Class always ends with a side trip to the office supply store for their own pencils. I've written the company asking about marketing them to quilt shops but am ignored. Other queries to them gets me messages, so I dunno the problem. Oh well, their loss. I just got a pack of yellow mechanical pencil leads from Keepsake quilting in the mail yesterday. They are marketed by Clover. I did a quick test on black batik and it marked very nicely and didn't pull at the fabric. So...maybe another marking option out there. I haven't tested them on lots of fabrics or tossed anything in the wash yet. It did erase from the batik just fine though. marcella |

Nothing doing. Those 'gators will eat about anything but they don't "do"
dentists, lawyers neither. We do have standards you know, not very high ones to be sure, but standards nonetheless. They thought the cardiologist was especially gross, said he was almost rancid. You just should have seen their eyes light up when I mentioned a lady insurance agent, something about a new rotisserie.
