The package I have comes with ried, blue and black pens. As an aside, I also do like the fine line it makes.
I have the same FRIXION pens, but this weekend I used the black one on an appliqued, fall themed, table runner to draw the quilting lines I needed around a star (I am terrible at freehand!). It disappeared when I ironed it after quilting, but so did the orange color. I was left with white lines and had to use a sharpie marker to cover it up!!!!! :hunf: It was fine on all the other fabrics! Yikes! So, lesson learned. Try it on a scrap first! ;)
