I searched all of the craft and sewing stores for these pens and finally found them at Staples. It does not erase completely off from fabric for me by using the eraser on the pen, but will not try ironing it off. Thanks for the hint as I have been afraid to use it.

I love them!!! I'm usually a straight #2 pencil user, but my current quilt has a blue shade that pencil wont work. I'll be washing the quilt when i finish, but i will have to tell the person receiving the quilt that if the lines do show up, to take an iron to it.

I haven't saw the green yet; it's pretty. You can get them at Office Max, 3 for $7. Yes, they iron off but if you get them cold the design comes back. You can soak them in Hot water and it will come out permanently though. There are threads on here about the Frixon pens and I know one research topic shows that starch does affect it going away permanently.

I was at a quuilt class where some ladies where talking about it, my instructor grabbed one of my finished, cream colored blocks and put a big black X on it. Before I could react, she pressed it with a hot iron and voila--it was gone! I have heard that the marking may come back with extreme cold??

Everyone keeps citing "extreme cold" is what brings the marks back. Truth is, Pilot says temps of around 15ºF is all it has to be and in these parts, that's nowhere near "extreme". Some quilters claim they even came back at refrigerator temps...and that's a balmy 40-45º.
