Anael that is an awesome idea, must try it. I have found that I don't like the black pens as they leave a white line after you press it, although it does disappear eventually, it freaked me out a little when it first happened. I stick to the green, purple and orange..

Great idea ..... sometimes the obvious, just is not obvious!
And now I have a visual of you up in the middle of the night, blow drying your quilt!
MiraB ... I too have noticed the ghost marks with the Frixxions. Looking very close, I have even been able to spot them on white fabrics. I haven't noticed it more/less according to the ink colour ... must pay attention!
I love the Frixxion pens because of the fine line ... I just consider the ghosting factor and whether I want to use it or not.

I love frixon pens but have noticed ghosting on some fabrics when they are ironed to remove the lines. I now always test a line on a piece of scrap to see if it will leave what appears like a bleached line. Rather than use an iron to get rid of the lines I just leave them and let them come out in the wash when I wash my quilt which I need to do anyway because I glue baste.

What did we do before Frixion pens? The ghost lines are leftover wax. Hot steam will take care of that.
Hair dryer is a great idea. I suppose another great idea is the hot air gun I use for embossing. It would work too, and be faster than sharing the hair dryer since the hot air gun is already in my sewing room.
