Wonderful tute on the pens! I use them, and haven't had a problem, yet! But, now that I know I will be more careful. Thank you for the wonderful information.

I just used the red pin on white satin. A touch with a warm iron took it right off. Love them

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've used them on scraps to try them out. They worked successfully and I didn't have any problems. I will continue to use and hope I don't run into those problems. Thanks for the warning though.

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 was told not to use them on dark fabrics.

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.
