    Default Signature Quilts- What Pens are best to Use?

    I am making an signature quilt and I am wondering what pens are the best to use when people sign the cloth squares for the quilt? Which ones are the easiest to use but will also not bleed as they write as well as hold up to general use. Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks

    I use a Pigma Micron pen and it works great!

    Pigma pens are easy to use, don't bleed and hold their color when laundered

    The pen I use is a Zig Millenium, a pigment pen. It comes in different sized fine points

    Sounds like lots of June Weddings. There have been a couple of posts on signature quilts in the last couple of days.

    I would test the pigma micron pens first. I heard a lot of complaints on other quilting boards of the new ones fading so just be careful

    I use Pigma pens and never had a problem with them. They use to be easily found in various stores.
