    Default Need permanent ink on quilt

    Want to make circles for eyes on lots of quilt blocks and do NOT want it to wash out. What type of marker do I need to buy? Do I need to iron to heat set it?

    Yes, definitely plan to heat set. I use Micron pens, then press.

    I agree with Sew Biz. Micron pens and then heat set. You can always go back over the lines if they start to fade, but it shouldn't be for a long time.
