Needle Marking
#63
Eleanor Burns showed a similar method on one of her shows that I saw yesterday. She had a tool with a handle that hard a kind of dull knife edge- I think it was originally a Japanese tool for marking fabric- oh, I see others have named it; it is a Hera marker. Seems like a darning needle would be cheaper and always on hand. Beautiful handwork- thanks for sharing!
