Wow, Kate, you accomplish so much!
Are you going to quilt the silver foil fabric in something like an
all-over diagonal grid pattern (hanging diamonds)? If so, the
adjustable spacing arm(s) on Bernina's walking foot will let you sew
equally spaced successive lines after marking just the first one in each
direction. I'd think tailor's chalk would work just fine for marking
that first line...it probably would be sufficiently visible for the time
you need it, and then brush away nicely.
