When I first bought my new sewing machine the woman who sold it to me told me about an invisible pen (aka mark-be-gone.) You draw on fabric with it then stitch over the lines and the ink disappears about 20 hours later. Out loud I said, “Oh that’s interesting” inside I was saying “There’s no way I’ll ever use one of those, I just want to stitch free hand”.
Then came Rita.
Yesterday I went back to the store and bought 3 mark-be-gones. Above is my first attempt at drawing Silent Rita using the invisible pen and free motion stitching.
I think this is going to work.
ABSOLUTELY!
It is working indeed, very nice Maria – how cool!
AWE-SOME!!! I can’t wait to see more of Rita.
are you just saying that because you’re my sister?
I am very glad to know about these pens. I hope they were not too expensive. I love your comments. I’m not sure if you are also going on the book tour but I appreciate both you and Jon so much! Best wishes.
the pens are about $3-$4 each. Very affordable!

Don’t be fooled. Rita is non-fiction.
