A measuring tool is anything used to take a count of quantitative data, such as

weight, length, time or temperature. Rulers and scales are two common types of
measuring tools. Measuring tools can be very precise, but low quality ones can lead to
faulty measurements.

Marking Tools are meant to transfer notations or designs for use while quilting
or sewing. There are many reasons quilters and sewists use marking tools;
marking where two pieces should meet, marking a quilt design on a quilt top,
tracing a pattern onto fabric, just to name just a few. You may want permanent or
temporary markings. The first and most important thing to remember about
marking tools is ALWAYS TEST YOUR MARKER BEFORE BEGINNING!
