I had been struggling trying to find a marker, pen pencil that would show up good on the fabrics. A coworker that also quilts told me about Pilot Brand Frixion Erasable pens. Said she got them at a quilt show however, Staples also carries them (I'm sure other office supplies places do also. I got the 3 pack last night and I have to say I love these things. They make a nice clear crisp line that makes it easy to hand quit. Then the lines disappear when you apply the iron. They also have a 6 pack , 8 pack, single and double (Single and double only are in black) But I have to say I love these things. I have purchased a ton of pencils, and markers and none of them work that great or the lines are real light and smudged and with hand quilting I felt I needed that nice crisp line to follow.
I tested them on several pieces of fabric last night both light and dark and gone as soon as the iron touched it.

I'm just wondering--the ink disappears with a hot iron but comes back in the cold. Then, how can the chemicals in the ink be gone? Wouldn't some of the chemical still be there? After washing the quilt, will the ink still return in a line if quilt gets cold? I would love to use them if I could just be sure.

This is exactly my concern, and is the reason why I won't use them. I've heard some people say the ink washes out and others say it doesn't wash out.
