This is how I like to use frixion pens...
I like to test out designs of fmq for my quilts. I draw out a block to scale on graph paper, color in with colored pencils, and make a color copy. I then use my frixion pen to draw my designs on the copy version of the block. Take a picture then iron off to try a different design.
The picture helps me remember which design I like.
You need to make a color copy because the frixion pen or iron does not like the colored pencil.
I know there are a lot of steps. But I quilt on my domestic and I like to get the feel for the design I want to use.
Just one of the many ways to try out fmq designs.

Thanks for your help and tips for removing the fixion pens.

One thing I suggested to her was to try Retro Clean. I don't know if it works on the frixion pen but I know it cleans the yellow and brown stains on vintage linens and quilts.
