I love my Frixion pens. I did my own test on a white on white quilt. After I steamed the marks away, I washed it in the washing machine with regular detergent. Then I put the whole quilt in the freezer for a couple of hours. The marks did not come back. So, then the quilt went in the dryer.

thank you for the info

Please use all these disappearing pens with caution. Think of what they might do to your fabric in 50 or more years. I wouldn't use them on anything that I want to last a long time. A fine lead mechanical pencil works and won't alter/rot/reappear.

Well I've been thinking about doing some Redwork but now I think you have me convinced! Another thought, if you have central AC and not using a vent, try laying your work in a thin box (like a thin gift box) and laying it over the vent! I keep my potatoes cool in the kitchen like that! Keeps for ever!! Good luck!

I have black and red and use all the time for cutting lines where any marks left end up on inside.

I love these pens and use them all the time. Yes if you put them in the freezer the marks will return.

I haven't tried the one I purchased, but was thinking that I would probably use it the most when making HST's so it would not affect/effect (can never remember which one to use without the dictionary) the quilt - I would love to use it when doing applique, will have to try it on a block to see what happens before doing a lot of them.
