Lightbulb Experimenting With a Correction Pen

I sew on vintage machines and one of them does not have a sewing guide attachment. I was really needing a guide the other day and I didn't want to put on tape, or any kind of adhesive, on the machine. So, I looked through my office drawer and came up with a, "white out" correction pen. I used it along with my ruler to draw a line on my black machine. Don't worry I did NOT draw over the decals, just the silver, cover plate and black area. The white line shows up great and has solved my problem. My quilt top is just about done and the line is starting to wear off now. I think that all that I need now is a damp cloth to take of the rest, leaving the machine clean and pristine.

I also tried the correction pen on my rulers. I used to mark the 4 1/2" corner and what a difference it made! It made squaring up go so much faster! Now I'm on a quest...what else can I use the correction pen for?
