I have to say I did not know some of the blue pens would come back until this summer. I was very lucky NOT to have used one of those in the past because Iloved the blue ones! Right now, I am using the white Clover pen, until someone tells me different!
Definitely! I always test on the same fabrics I use in my quilt but sometimes what washes out of pre quilted fabric doesn't wash out of the quilt once I've quilted it. :? Sometimes the marks stain my cream/white threads and sometimes the chaco-liner would wash out but not always. Now, I quilt a sample of my scraps to see how it works.
