Water soluble graphite and quilting

The safari quilt came out of the washer looking great!  Once again, the white marks were completely gone -- not so with the graphite.  And.... once again, Fels Naptha to the rescue.

Water soluble graphite pencils from Fons & Porter did no better in disappearing during the wash than the Sewline Fabric Pencil in black. I did not try erasing the lines before washing the nap quilt, but I wish I had.  That will be the next test.

With both quilts, I used Quilt Care in a gentle wash on cold with a cold rinse.

 

Nap Quilt Binding is Complete - What about the quilt marks?

Yesterday I finished stitching down the binding for the Safari Nap Quilt.  At the moment, the quilt is in the washer and I am anxious to see what happens to the quilt markings.

When I marked the quilt lines I used two products.  The Sewline white pencil and the Fons & Porters Water Soluble Graphite pencil.
