Thanks katier825 for the link. I saw a blogger using this erasing pen and wondered where you could buy it! That's awesome. Have you tried the white marking pen from the same people..I.e. Blue line eraser people? Just wonder how that works.

I used the sewline erasable pencil, with the pink leads, to draw the circles on my white quilt top (day of horrors pictures) I had difficulty using the eraser to remove the lines but after washing in warm (30º) wash they had completely disappeared.

If you are hand quilting you can always use painters tape. I have used this for grids. I always worry about using markers and not having them come out.

I just watched a nancy utube and she was showing how to center an em design on white she said she used air erasable.Never heard of it but she probably sells it on Nancy`s notions. Anyone se these?

I use frixion pens to mark my quilts. The heat of an iron causes the pen to disappear. When i finish a quilt, I always machine wash them. I know there are a lot of people who don't like them, but they are my favorite, go to pen.

I was looking at them today. It said on the container to wash the fabric in hot water. I do not wash anything in hot water. How hot is the water that you use to wash them out?

I have used the frixion pens and seem to like them; if it gets real cold the marks may come back but warm up and they go away again. Also I use soap slivers and perhaps a gold or green sliver might show up on the white?

What size washable Crayola markers do you use? broad, fine tip? I use the vinyl stencils to mark my designs, are the broad points too thick?

FINE tip washable markers will work best with your slotted quilting stencils.
