Haven't tried it yet, but am looking forward to using it.
The pen is made by Pilot. Name on it is FRI X ION. Cost was $2.95.
I've used the Pilot Frixion pen successfully to mark quilts for quilting. I got them in OfficeMax for about $1.50 each. As you said, the ink marks disappear when ironed (or washed and dried). There is one caveat...if the quilt should get chilled (such as leaving in a car outside in the winter), the marks can reappear; but they will disappear when re-ironed.
