Marking a quilt with new pen.
#1
Hi Everyone,
I was reading another thread about ink pen ruining a quilt and I thought I would share a new product on the market by pilot.
It is an ink pen that is a nice sharp point in black ink that disappears when you are finished by heat. You just iron it and it is gone!
I found it at the last quilt show I went to in july when I was buying a large embroidery project. It is amazing! I bought it from a quilt shop booth. Now I am not sure of the name of it, I think it was the blue petunia. But I have thier card upstairs if you can not find it locally.
Here is a pic of what they look like. I think they were five bucks a piece. (Now.. don't look at my stained grout, I live in the country where the wind blows sand in all the time.)

In reading the reviews on Amazon on these pens it mentions if You leave your "math Homework in a hot car" It will disappear but you can remedy this by placing it in the freezer. So I think if your Quilt was stored where it was cold the marks may come back. Just a FYI

:lol:
I would test it, iron it out, throw your test in the freezer and see what happens. If it does reappear after the chill, try washing a sample after ironing and freeze it. Better to be safe than sorry.
I am watching to see if this will really work, cause if it does, I need some of those!!!
