A friend sent this article to me regarding the use of Frixion Pens. I found it interested, so thought I'd share it with you. http://quiltskipper.com/2015/08/frix...-need-to-know/

There are far too many ways to mark a quilt that wash out or brush off to take a chance on something like this.

Some people swear by them and some people don't. Interesting, right?

Interesting that the company says they are not to be used on fabric. I do use the very thing sharpies to draw lines that will be in the seam or are the cut line (and I know they are not for use on fabric either) but I have not used the Frixion pens.

Somewhere in the archives, this article along with posts .......I personally just bought one before holidays-to mark the cutting line of a project. I don't think I would use on front. But I did read a comment that is interesting....use it on books, mags, patterns you are using. Then when you want to sell or give away, take iron and "erase" your personal notes. Now that makes sense to me too.

I use them but do not put them in the middle of a block

I had some but read so many bad things that i gave them to charity.

I use them for marking lines to sew, darts, tracing templates, etc. I don't use them for marking the quilt top. I use Crayola Ultra Clean markers for that.

They are making notebooks now that use frixion pens to write in them. When you are done and notebook is full, it is put in microwave and it erases everything in the book. Then you have a new notebook to write in. They are called Rocketbooks. I received one for Christmas. Not really sure the utility of it for me, but a neat idea.

I use a black frixion pen to mark my quilting on all my quilts. I have never had a problem. Once I used a lime colored one and when I ironed the marks off it did leave a ghost line, but it was so faint that it didn't ruin the quilt for me. I figured most people would never notice it, and no one ever did. However, I only use black ones now, and I have used them on both 100% cotton and cotton/polyester blend fabrics without problems.
The one thing I did use that did ruin a table runner for me was yellow chalk, so I would recommend never using it.
