I make a copy of the chart and use highlighters and if there is a lot of confettii I will use
a post it note under the area Im stitching
I dint know that there were erasable highlighters. What a good idea. I sometimes use frixion pens which can be heat erased.
I use an eraseable highlighter too, for the larger projects, especially if there are many color changes.I really like the idea of a post-it note - thanks everyone :)
I use highlighters to highlight all of one symbol, so that I dont miss some. Then I mark the blocks Ive stitched with a pencil. I make a blown up copy of the pattern so I can see it better.
It depends on the project, small easy stuff, I just stitch from a copy.I use a magnet to keep my place.I bought a ruler but like the post it paper better.:D
I usually work in grids then just highlight the grid Im stitching - usually 10*10 so if i make a mistake I dont have to unpick too much!

This is what I do! I find it much easier than using anything else Ive tried!
I always make a copy of my original pattern & the harder parts I crop & enlarge, that way I can use the highlighter without worrying about my treasured patterns which I keep in plastic sleeves in binders.:):)
I have never marked my work.... somehow I always just manage to figure out what was done and what was not.

I always make a copy and then use a 3B pencil to mark the stitches off. This is easily rubbed off.
