Have a great day and happy sewing !
I just bought one after one of my quilting friends shared them with me while working on half square triangles. I try not to use any marking pens in areas that don't remain in the seam allowances - I just don't like taking any chances. I use chalk more often than not.
Thanks for the link. That is great!

I love these pens, I use them to make diagional lines on the back of fabric before sewing - once ironed, the line always comes off - as for "ghost line" I don't see it, as it is the back of the fabric, also use these to mark the 1/4" seam allowance at the end of a row when I am sewing on binding, again, the mark disappears into the seam.

I would be sure if you give the item as a gift you let the person know. My concern is that you give the gift, the recipeint drives home...forgets to unpack the car, the quilt sits all night and the next day she brings it in. It was freezing, the pen came back and she doesn't know what to do because the quilt has ink on it.
interesting ! I guess I am old fashioned .. gimme the chalk !LOL

I use a variety of marking tools. I ALWAYS test the marking instrument on a scrap of fabric from the quilt. Some tools work better on different fabrics/colors than others. The only problem I have had with the Frixion pens is that on some fabrics it will leave a white line.
I use mine only in spots that will be sewn or otherwise covered. I found on dark fabrics a bleached line will show up after washing, but not the ink.
