"It's Not a Quilt Until it's quilted"
I forget who said this, but it has been a standard for years.
I didn't really "retire" - just changed jobs...now I am a full time quilter.
Rosemary's blogspot has an excellent tutorial on using "Press N Seal" ®
to "mark" quilts for free motion machine quilting
without marking the quilt.

But have you tried it Elaine?
I used it on a very very closely quilted project. And it took me longer to use tweezers and needles to remove the plastic than it was worth. I used a permanent blue texta for the marking, and I could see every tiny scrap showing up on the cream background until I removed it. It took more than an entire retreat weekend, just to remove the plastic.
Over the years I haven't really found ANYthing to mark curved lines on quilts that I am happy with.
The answer: follow your design, your backing fabric, or do gum leaves and flowers or something that cannot look "wrong".
