Frixion pens - One Blogger's Opinion
#13
Thanks for the link. I use the Frixion pens. I did notice the ghost marks on a light blue fabric. I made that project about 3 months ago. After reading this article, I just checked the project and the ghost lines seem to have disappeared. My guess is that they fade with time. At least that has been my experience so far.

I just bought one after one of my quilting friends shared them with me while working on half square triangles. I try not to use any marking pens in areas that don't remain in the seam allowances - I just don't like taking any chances. I use chalk more often than not.

Ah... but if you live in Minnesota and have gone out on a cold blustery day, like -20, they could conceiveably come back. I love walking, even at that temp. As long as there is no wind, even a cold day like that is doable outdoors if you are dressed warmly. A quilt adds warmth as you stand around the firepit with hot chocolate.

I love these pens, I use them to make diagional lines on the back of fabric before sewing - once ironed, the line always comes off - as for "ghost line" I don't see it, as it is the back of the fabric, also use these to mark the 1/4" seam allowance at the end of a row when I am sewing on binding, again, the mark disappears into the seam.
