Washable pen for drawing lines on aida for cross stitch

[HonkAndJimothyLtd]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a brand of washable pen for drawing lines on aida for cross stitch? Or any advice on how to temporarily transpose the lines from a pattern onto the aida. I have poor vision and my fine motor isn't what it was so I find following some patterns hard but don't want to give in and resort to binca just yet!

Hi OP @HonkAndJimothyLtd I've used a washable pen before and I think it was the Clover brand. It washed out well iirc.

Frixion pen. Marks just iron away.

I use red nylon thread to mark a grid out. Some people suggested fishing line as it's cheaper, but I find the red easier to see.

Pretty sure it is this one

Thank you all

You can get printed cross stitch, where the pattern is printed on the aida and then you cross stitch over it. I bought one recently because I'm very bad at counting!

You cal also get gridded fabric with the lines marked on the fabric, the lines then wash out when you’re finished. lakeside Needlecraft do lots of different fabric counts.
