I hope those who say they are worried also don't use the disappearing inks, because theoretically, wouldn't those inks still be there?
I am struggling to mark some dark fabric and I'm going to use some ivory soap. The other thing I often do w/ dark fabrics is keep my quilting lines straight where I can use masking tape to mark my quilting.
I love the frixion pens too! I also use slivers of soap for marking dark fabric, but am hoping they come out with a white frixion pen.
