490/NV Hera Marker

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!

I’ve never quilted before, but I’ve been sewing for 20 years, this tool is so useful for learning to quilt! Perfect cause I don’t have to deal with markers pens or chalk which can make a mess sometimes

This tool is actually really effective in marking likes. Should’ve gotten it sooner.

Perfect size easy to use not messy durable erasable

I was so happy to discover this tool. I make bags, and before I cut the bags out, I quilt all the pieces that I will use. I generally just do diagonal cross lines on them, and I used to mark them with tailor's chalk or some other method. On some fabrics I had trouble getting all the marks out. This tool is great; it just leaves a pressure mark. I sew on that line and then I don't have to mark any more; I just stitch all the other lines one inch apart, using the first one as a guide. When I'm done, the pressure marks come right out when I steam the piece with my iron. Highly recommended!

Nice product

Use this to mark my quilt lines. Easy to hold and works great on quilts without marking

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.

Tal cual como se especificaba

Good tool very useful for hemming skirts trousers etc.,

Great! Exactly what I needed

Ein Hera Marker, der tut, was er soll und gut in der Hand liegt. Clover hat gute Ware, es ist nur oft nicht so einfach, ohne Umwege dran zu kommen. So schade, dass in Deutschland das ganze Sortiment manchmal nur über viele Umwege zu bekommen ist, wenn überhaupt.

The item arrive earlier than predicted very useful tool
