Also, being a gel roller, once the fabric is stablized with freezer paper they write just like a normal pen. Wonderful. Set with a warm iron and there is no fading when washed. Three colors red, blue and black. Oh, and we didn't have any issues with bleeding or smearing. (no connection, just personal experience)
How long did you wait from the time you wrote on the fabric to the time you washed it?
Did subsequent washings hold up well?

Thanks - Nan
