Very interesting.

Certainly looks better having been Sharpied

I've done this myself. Not on so large an area, but it works. And it doesn't come out either.

I have never thought of this but I love the idea! Thanks to all who shared, this tip is a keeper!

Yup you crazy but......so am I because I would do the same. It looks so much better.

You're not crazy.....I've used colored pigma pens for years to color seam threads that show.....(and I'm SURE I'm not the only one....)

LOL I do that all the time. Thought I was the only one silly enough to try it, but it works!

Crazy.. Perhaps...the sharpie will fade out and may discolor the black fabric.

I used a black sharpie on a favorite black shirt that got bleach splattered. I need to redo after several washings but I still have my favorite shirt.
