I don't know if you have them over there, but I would use a Sharpie brand fine tipped marker. Or (and I haven't tried this so don't know if it works, but) what if you drew what you needed on paper and used spray adhesive to attach the paper to the mylar?
Hi everyone - I have bought a sheet of Mylar template plastic because I want to make some decent circles for applique, without those horrible pointy bits spoiling the outer edges - which is the best method of marking the plastic sheet? - pencil or biro doesn't seem to work - thanks Jacky
