Thank you for the heads up about the pen marks. I wll use the washable Crayon markers when I try this.

Recently bought a set of 6 Frixion in multi colors on Amazon for less than 10 dollars[plus shipping. Sh be enough colors for both light and dark. Love using these for any fabric marking. QUOTE=meanmom;6596303]Somewhere here on the board someone used press and seal and the pen they used to mark it somehow got on the quilt. I don't know if it went thru the press and seal or rubbed off. But they were heartbroken because it wouldn't come off.
My biggest problem is that my quilts are usually light and dark. I never know what to use to mark them. I love the Frixion pens but what should I use on the dark fabric. I hate to keep switching pens as I mark.[/QUOTE]

I love the Pilot Frixion pen. Never had an issue and I always press. The lines disappear.

on dark fabrics, i love to use a sliver of soap. on other colors, i love the Frixion pen.

I tried Press & Seal a few years back and was so discouraged. Maybe it's because I'm not proficient at FMQ, it took me hours to get the little bits of press & seal from under all the stitches with tweezers. I would definitely test it first.

I just tried Crayola Washable Markers, they have a fine tip and glides well enough over the fabric, and the marks rinse right out. (always test your fabric first)

A regular #2 pencil will not wash out. I have done that and the lines stay after washing the quilt.
