Sharpie also washes out after several washes. Not so "permanent" as they say it is....

They are the very best.

In my experience, Sharpies make a mess of fabric. I think that Crayola makes a pen that does not wash out. Remember to iron freezer paper to the back of the fabric that you will write on.

Thanks for asking this ScubaK, I use a pigma pen but on fabric they don't always glide smoothly for me, so I just ordered the gel pens on Amazon!

there are 2 brands of fabric marking pens in JoAnn's in the section by the kid's crafts. One is a finer tip than the other, but both work very nicely for autographs--permanent and actually write better on fabric that what I've found with Pigma. Of course I can not remember the brand name!

Can I use a permanent "Sharpie"?
Thank you for your help.

Micro Pen. Heat set. They won't bleed or smear.
