Washable crayola markers
#13
I have been using
Frixion pens a lot. So far no problems at all. I like them much better then the air or water pens. I had a faint white line appear on some dark fabric when the color was ironed away but it went away when I washed the quilt and hasn't returned. The Frixion pens are archival and non toxic from what I find online about them.

Do you iron away the marks of frixion pens? or is it safer to blow dry the marks away? Are these pens expensive? I will give them a try.
Our quilt guild is doing a fabric swap using scrappy half square triangles. I made pinwheel blocks and each section of the pinwheel is a different fabric. I will trace a circle template over the scrappy pinwheel block to cut out a circle. The challenge is to find a marking pen that works on 8 different fabrics. ha!

From experience I go the cheapest and easiest, charcoal pencil. Press lightly is all you need and it comes out clean in the wash. No troubles so far! Good Luck whichever way you choose.

I use the washable markers at times when my chalks and washable marking pen aren't doing the job. I'm careful to choose a close color to whatever I'm marking, not significantly darker. I haven't had any problems so far.
