Thanks for posting!

OK....a few words here....how many of our quilts go into the freezer or stay outside in 0 degree weather?

I know the ink is there, but no one has had the pens long enough to know the long term effect of that fact. So, really, don't rush to judgement. It's probably going to be longer than any of us are alive before the ink will "rot" the fabric, and perhaps never.

Yes!! The air disappearing ink is still in there, the water disappearing ink is still in there. I don't think any of the various marking inks totally washes out immediately.

And you don't ship them anywhere that requires air travel. I think it gets pretty cold in the cargo hold.

Nope, that's not true any longer. All airplanes are completely pressurized and temperature controlled.

OK...how many of you trust F&Ps information?? Hands?? Me!! I trust them to not suggest using products that will harm my quilts.

Janice - thanks for letting us know about the fons and porter endorsement. I think I will let this go now and feel good about using my pens. I love them and they have made my life so much easier. I have quilt teachers who would never use anything to mark fabrics until now with these pens. They totally believe in them too. Thanks again

How often will a quilt be exposed to 14ºF?

I wonder if it would make a difference if the fabric is pre-washed or not as far as the ink washing out after pressing...

Yes. I only use blue masking tape or clover chaco liner (white only) to mark so far. I only do straight line quilting though so it's not a big issue for me. I do have a chalk pounce kit for when I decided to brave a design.
