Used wrong color thread in piecing
#12
I always cringe a little when people say they use Sharpies on quilts, or permanent markers. They really aren't and will bleed into other fabric and if writing with them on fabric they will bleed and get fuzzy and faded.
I know from experience and I only use Pigma Pens or other Archival pens for making seams disappear and writing. They are one thing that is worth the investment. just MHO.
Wouldn't it be sad for a memory quilt of any kind to be lost to fading and bleeding signatures after a few years.

I just finished a very dark flannel quilt. I was ironing the top and using the lint brush on it when I noticed that my 'white' Prescencia thread was showing in a few places. I never thought to change from my white thread on a huge cone that I always use to a darker color. Now what do I do? I have about 10 stitches showing on the top. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but black flannel and white thread look awful together. Any suggestions?
