I use clear tablecloth fabric that I get at JoAnns. I pin my finished quilt to the design wall and then pin the clear cloth over the whole quilt. I use markers that are for white boards. I can try different designs and if I don't like them -- they just wipe off. When I have a design I like, I take the clear cloth to my light table and create stencils - from cardboard boxes--to transfer the markings to my quilt. A good wipe all over with a paper towel and some spray cleaner and my clear cloth is ready for the next time.
Works great and is not too expensive. Leaves more cash in the purse for fabric. Betty Ann in Sunny Florida

Thanks Lynn! Those videos have lots of useful info!

Just watched some ideas on the Golden Threads website and found the videos informative and fun to watch. You might like them too. Helped me to see ways to 'audition' designs right on my quilt ......good applications and ideas. Here is the link:
