I stopped worrying about using them after I read Sharon Schamber uses them at her web site.She makes fantastic quilts and if she isn't worried about them why should I be.I use the red and black ones.

I have reservations about the Frixion pens so I don't use them for anything that is going to show-just in case the lines come back or fade the fabric. However, just a day or two ago I saw an advertisement for a gel type pen for marking quilts that is available from Nancy's Notion. You might wan to check that out because it did sound like a new take on this type of project. I, like many of you, find that marking products are really challenging. I have a drawer full of things I have tried. Some are great and others have been read duds.

I love mine
Yes, sometimes when Im going too fast it 'skips' and you have to re-draw
yes, the line will come back in EXTREME cold.. I doubt any of my quilts will be going to the North Pole anytime soon
Yes, it stretches the fabric IF I pull on the fabric when drawing - just dont pull..
Yes, it will leave a faint line on certain fabrics, IM scrappy so it just blends in with my quilts anyway
Yes, i heard about the residue it leaves behind, the fabric itself has more, so not a concern for me
Yes, IMHO are really worth the investment..
Fine for precise lines and regular for just following along is my method..
