I would be sure if you give the item as a gift you let the person know. My concern is that you give the gift, the recipeint drives home...forgets to unpack the car, the quilt sits all night and the next day she brings it in. It was freezing, the pen came back and she doesn't know what to do because the quilt has ink on it.

I use a variety of marking tools. I ALWAYS test the marking instrument on a scrap of fabric from the quilt. Some tools work better on different fabrics/colors than others. The only problem I have had with the Frixion pens is that on some fabrics it will leave a white line.

You don't have to freeze them. lol I would never use them because I sleep in a room without heating. I stay warm with three quilts and a small poodle, but in the middle of winter the chances are those marks would return.

The freezing could happen if you send a quilt to a show or as a gift to someone in a cold part of the country during the winter---think Christmas gifts. The airplane cargo hold and the ups or fedex trucks aren't heated in the cargo area.

I have heard that hitting the marks with heavy steam from the iron gets rid of the ink. I haven't tried it myself. I find that the tried and true marking with chalk or wash out pens does well enough for me and I don't want to take chances.
