I bought some a couple of weeks ago and love them also. We have a stationary store in the village and the lady ordered them for me. Can't get them in white though .

I have several of these pens. Have used them on dark and light fabrics with no problems at all. I love them! Paid $1.79 each at a quilt shop in the Atlanta area.

Personally , I think it very strange that when asked about suitability for quilting purposes, Pilot does NOT recommend Frixion pens for use on fabric. As a northern quilter who sleeps under two down comforters plus a wool quilt for almost half of every year, I'll stick with my Sewline pencil.

They are called Frixion pens and they are wonderful.

some say its ok to use and others say its not safe.

i have see many blog posts about this pen where people made samples and the markings never went away.

I have used these pens on several quilts and find that they work very well. I have had no problem removing them with a hot iron. I think this is the best marking tool I have ever used and I have used many.

I like the washable Crayola markers and crayons. They wash out and never return. Works great.

You can buy them by mail from Sam's Club and other office supply companies. There was a fairly long discussion on the Board about them a few weeks ago. Someone did a great job of testing them and wrote a good piece on the value of them. I use them and like them. When I ordered them from Sam's they were less then $2.00 incuding postage.
