what kind of pens do I want to use for a autograph quilt?
#2
I plan on making one too! I plan on using Zig Millenium or Pigma Micron pens, size 05. I don't like the finer point pens, this size is more of a medium tip.
I have searched google and read a lot recently! What I've read is not to use Sharpies but to use these archival pens. And be sure to heat set the signatures with a hot iron.
good luck!

I ordered them from Keepsake Quilting a couple of years ago. They come 6 to a pack in 6 different colors. I also got a stamp that looks like a scroll to place on back of quilt and then write all information inside. Real simple system and no sewing on of tags! :D

Pigma Micron.
Basically anything archival, acid free, should work. Heat set signatures.
You may want to consider stabilizing signature areas for signing purposes, then removing the stabilizer. Fabric doesn't work well with how people want to just zip a pen across to sign. (Ask me how I figure that out... :roll: ) Something iron-on and easily removed...
