I had to chuckle about the marks reappearing in the cold. As some of you know, I live in Canada and we get
cold winter weather. There is nothing nicer than hanging you quilts out for an airing on a fresh cold morning and it would be a shocker to find all the quilting marks reappear without knowing about the pens. I think I will pass on these until they do some impovements on them. Thank you to those of you that took time to do several tests and found the ink to reappear when cold.

Two packs were in one place, six packs in another ... and totally separate from the Zwipes!
As has been mentioned there are some concerns with these reappearing etc .... although some seem to be saying that the permanent disappearing act does occur with washing. In the end, we just need to do our own tests and decide
For me ... So far they have proven their good, for back of fabric markings ... eg. when doing HST lines etc. They are so nice and fine and mark easily. Now if I could wave a magic wand and discover that one of my new ones show up on blacks and other darks, I would be a most happy camper!!!!
