Yes you have to be careful pulling it up, and yes if you have small sections its difficult but if chalk or other marking wont work its a great alternative.

Also discovered that a hair dryer works just as well for removing Frixon marks if the iron isn't practical (I had wool batting and plastic beads that I was worried about). Dad came up with that idea.

Ooof this made me cringe a bit. Heat doesn't "remove" the ink marks; it just makes it disappear from view. I'm not talking about if your quilt gets cold, the marks will come back. I'm talking about the ink permanently living in the fibers, and the manufacturers of the Frixxion pens stating that those pens are not for use on fabric. I know too many people who have had quilts ruined by those pens, even after exposing to heat, washing, etc.
