Gridding Cross Stitch Fabric

Ive gridded with cotton but its annoying me trying not to stitch over the top, so Im going to try gridding with a marker next time

Thank you all for the wonderful advice. I have lots to think over, but I will first try the water soluble pen.

I like to use pilot frixon pens for drawing grids. The eraser on them isnt why they vanish, its the ...

But, at least for the Frixon highlighters, as soon as you get the ink really cold again it reappears.

I try to grid when using evenweave and use ordinary sewing cotton and unpick as I work the grids. Saves on mistakes and hours of unpicking

I always use Pilot Frixion pen to grid my fabric. The ink turns invisible when its heated. So after I finish stitching, I just need to iron my work and the ink dissapears, just like magic.
