Fabric Pen/Marker
I'm making a quilt as a Christmas gift for my mom and step-dad this year. The center of each block will be from Olde America Antiques National Park Service Centennial Quilt Block collection. I have chosen these particular blocks because my parents have been to 48 of these parks. I plan on writing on each block the date that they visited the park. Which brings me to my question. I am on the hunt for a pen/marker that I can use to write the date on the block that won't bleed or wash out.
Suggestions???
Thanks a bunch!

I always used the Pigma Micron pens. I know that they still sell the colored set on JAF online but you can probably find the black single pen in the store. There are different widths of the point on the pen.

My friend Cindi, in preparation for an autograph wedding quilt, purchased and tested all the fabric pens marketed as permanent. She took many things into account, such as price, lack of fading after several washings, and ease of writing on fabric. According to her thorough research, the Nano-Liner by Royal Langnickel was the clear winner.
