My preferred way to mark the edge is with low tack masking tape. Most of my customer quilts are not super bright fabrics so I love orange masking tape. I have a hard time missing it on most quilts. If I have a quilt that is made from super bright fabrics, I have other colors of masking tape I can use, like light purple. If there is a 12 step program for over use of masking tape, I should probably join.
This is much quicker then marking a line. I just rip off a piece of tape and put it down so that the edge is roughly half way into the tape. The masking tape is 1 inch wide so that gives me the 1/2 inch with no quilting.
I mark the stem quick with a chalk roller. Then I can start quilting.

I love things that are quick and work. I use A LOT of masking tape. At least a roll a month. I am totally addicted!
