For those worried about leaving a chemical in the fabric, the ink in these pens is acid free and archival quality (though the people at pilot thought I was crazy for asking that- they highly do not recommend using them for archiving, due to the ink disappearing at high temperatures- not good for long term storage, where it might disappear)
The chemicals will not harm fabric. And, it washes out anyway, so it is really only a concern if you aren't washing it.

The temperature is below freezing here at night already. I just shipped a quilt to my sister. If I had used this pen to mark the top, it is possible the lines would appear in shipping.

I just discovered a disappearing fabric marker at Michael's for about $3.00. It goes on purple and disappears after about 48 hours. I think it is the greatest thing since peanut butter, but have only used it on cotton doll faces and seam markings for clothes so far. On quilts I usually use soap slivers.

I got mine at an office supply store. Can't remember if it was office depot or staples.
