these are the Frixion Pens..do a search here on QB and read all the reasons why you should NOT be using these on your quilts!

[quote=kuseta]I just discovered spray chalk! It's great!! works like spray paint and marks your quilt very quickly and easily. It washes right out, too. In the quilting tools section at Joann's and it comes in white or light blue. kind of expensive, so I use my coupons on it. ]

How well does it stay on while quilting? Sounds really interesting!

spray chalk...sorry..but anything that is a SPRAY usually means there is a propellant in there to make it spray..that means a petroleum based product is going onto your cotton fabric...never a good mixture!

The only thing I've read is not to freeze the ink mark or it will reappear. Is there more than this?

So, if the quilt gets too cold you have to heat it again? That might surprise someone who has received a quilt.

Shouldn't have responded about the pen on this thread...sorry.
Actually am looking forward to responses about the stencils. They are a bit awkward for me, especially when it comes to the corners. Maybe I just need to "lighten up" and be more creative.

I've always used the wash-out markers. They are blue and work on most colors. For really dark fabrics I use a white marking pencil, but don't like them really well - have to sharpen often.

I just ordered the pounce iron off...I was not impressed with the regular pounce powder. It rubs off it was a pain. I am hoping the iron one will work better.
