I found them on: apenloversparadise.com
Click on Ball Frixion. Individually they only come in red, blue and black and are $2.35 ea. But if you order the 8 pk. pouch, you can get in 8 different colors and are $21.95 |
It is an erasable pen. The friction of erasing makes the ink dissappear. (It says not to use for signing important papers.) So, I can see why ironing would make the ink dissappear.

I don't get hung up on detail, as my quilts will be washed and washed and loved, none will ever go in shows or museums. So... I thank ya'll for your input. |
I've seen them before.You can get them at an office supply store. I tested it on a scrap of fabric, yes the line when away when you ironed it,but I stuck it in the freezer and the mark came back. I know.....who sticks a quilt in the freezer, but what I'm trying to point out is that the chemical is still in the fabric. What will happen to those markings 10 years from now? I'd use it with caution.

The owner of my LQS advised not to use on Blacks & Reds.

PLEASE do more research....there are plenty of topics here on QB about this pen..even some with TUTES about how the ink does NOT fully leave the fabric.

Why not use on Black and Red fabric?
|
I just bought 3 of them at my local quilt store, I think that would be your best bet to find them. Very reasonable here, $1.50 each. I have used them already, they work great.

Want all to know that our applique group did some testing with these pens, and we approve. Once the fabric is washed the cemical that is in the ink disapears forever and no matter how cold it get it never comes back.
