Default FriXion pens

Can anyone tell me what frixion pen you use for quilting. Is it the ball point or the marker? Thank you for any help you can give me.

i use the ball point and just love it. when i go to iron off the marks, the iron does not even touch the fabric before they disappear. i used my black one today and also yesterday.

I use them for all my fabric markings I want to disappear. The trace 'ink' washes away.

I use the ball point and I love, love, love it. Love how it marks and then how it disappears with my iron!

I love my ball point and have several colors. I recently got the bright pink and it really does show on all colors(even black).

So far, I have only used the black ball point. I'm one of those quilters who love them. I also like the fact that cold will bring the markings back. Last year, I made a quilt with embroidered blocks. I traced the design with the Frixion pen. Then I ironed sheer interfacing on the back. That, of course, made my design disappear; but a few minutes in the freezer and the design was back. I use Frixion pens on almost every quilt I make and have had no problem with them.

When I went to my LQS they had a big display of different colors. I have so many things to mark my quilts with, I'm going to hold off unless I get totally frustrated.

I used the marker before I was able to find a ballpoint. Both worked but the ballpoint makes a finer line. I found a website that has Frixion pens in all point sizes and colors. Haven't ordered yet but will probably do so in the future.

I bought a pack of several of the ball point ones at a quilt show, I am very pleased with them because I can use them regardless of fabric color. BTW they weren't even expensive always a plus.
