Clover490/NV Hera Marker

I used this for marking lines for straight line hand quilting and it worked wonderfully, especially for fabric prints with more solid background. It worked on prints, too, but a little more difficult to see when the print was busier. It seems like traditional fabric marker pens don't last long before they're empty, but this, obviously, can be used over and over forever. Just line it up with my ruler, press down, and mark the quilting line. I'd recommend it for straight line quilting by hand or machine.

Works great! I love this to help mark my quilting lines.

I have to admit, I had my doubts. I have struggled (for years) finding a way to make quilt lines WITHOUT harming my quilt tops. I have used soap, markers, sewing foot bar, and specialty tailor's chalk. I was horrified when I used tailor's chalk markers to make an embroidered quilt only to find out that the marks NEVER came out, no matter how I tried/how many washings and soakings I attempted. I watched a trusted YouTube quilter demonstrate this Hera Marker and I ordered it, expected total disappointment. BUT it's a game changer!! I have just finished straight-line quilting on a wall hanging, using this marker. It worked perfectly. Using a straight edge, I marked the quilt with this Hera marker, applying a decent amount of pressure. Then set it aside for a day, prior to completing the quilting. Marks remained clear and because I used a straight edge for each line, the resulting lines were perfectly straight (unlike those from my sewing machine foot bar). I was using polyester batting and haven't tried the marker with 80/20 batting but I do totally expect the same excellent results. I am happy beyond words -- this is a GAME CHANGER!

This little tool is SUPER useful! Originally I was taking a blade out of my roller blade but now I have this neat little tool that does the job quicker and better! its nicely sized as well!

This tool works exactly as expected, as it does a far superior job than finger pressing. However, I will say that I hardly ever use it because I find myself doing one of the other 2 extremes - finger pressing out of ease/laziness (I.e. not wanting to mess with another tool) or pulling out the iron to get that really sharp, precise press. For that reason I would not purchase it again

The item is fine but someone opened the package. The package was not torn it was deliberately opened.

Works perfect for quilting straight lines! I would definitely recommend !

This is essentially a fabric marker for sewers. It makes a crease, or line, on the fabric that can used for seam allowances, quilting guide, etc. Easy to use, works great and is a good price. Clean with a damp cloth. Highly recommend for sewers of all levels.
