Whether you sew garments, quilts, accessories, or home décor, you will find that some projects require you to temporarily mark the placement of closures, darts, pockets, appliqués, stitching lines, and other design elements. Sometimes a pin or a small snip in the seam allowance will do, but you often need more precise markings that won’t disappear too quickly but also won’t scar your fabric forever.
Marking tools are required for transferring pattern markings to garment fabric pieces and for making alterations on garments.
