I'm with cathy77 on this way of marking.

I use the bar attachment on my walking foot when I am cross-hatching.

I use painters tape because it eliminates marking on the quilt. I have used ordinary masking tape as well. I measure and mark with a pencil in the seam allowance along the quilt edge. I then use painters tape from mark to mark across the quilt. Once I've sewn a line in one direction, if possible I put the crosshatching bar on my machine and follow the first mark as my guide.

Same here. It saves all that measuring, marking, taping, and clean up time. It works well for evenly spacing curved rows of quilting, too. Mine extend out to almost 3" on either side.

I have seen repositionable tape.

I don't like to mark. Its easier just to mark one line and use the bar attachment.

That was my experience as well, when I tried it on a king size quilt. I ended up using an 8' straight edge my husband hand and marked all the lines with water soluble marker.

I've seen green and blue (and the older style cream color) but I've seen the blue in a sensitive paint type of variety. It's supposedly less sticky. I don't think I've seen the green (which is called frog tape) in a less sticky variety. For painting, anyway, we prefer the green.

I mark my first mark with the Hera marking tool then use the attachment. I even bought a longer guide bar so I could go further distance from the last line of stitching.

I have it and yes I do use it for marking when quilting, but only to space my design correctly such as loops in a sashing. I don't use it for crosshatching. Instead I use the ruler markings on my longarm ruler as I am quilting.
