What brand or kind of pen do you use to sign your quilts? The only ones I can find are scrapbooking pens, but my mom thinks that is what quilters use too (and it is what she uses).
Thanks! Kelly |
I'd like to know also. Thanks for asking this question.

I have a Pigma Pen, but I really don't like it.
I went and got one of those Sharpies that writes like a pen. Did a few tests with it, washed, etc and it works fine. |
My pen is Pigma, Micron 05 and I like it... you just iron over whatever you have written to set the ink...
|
I have a Micron too, but I'm going to try my Sharpies now that tlrnhi has tested them out! Thanks!
|
I use Pigma or Identapen.
|
I've used Pigma pens & Sharpies, just depends on what kind of line I want. :)

About 10 years ago I used a blue Pigma pen to sign a quilt. I didn't know I was supposed to iron it to set it.
I went over the line several times so it would really show. I washed the quilt WEEKS later and the !@#$%^&*()_ ink ran so now it looks all smeary there. I'm not aware of any one else having an issue with Pigma pens, but I did with a blue one. |

I always use a Pigma Pen and heat set. I have never had any trouble with them, fading or bleeding.
