    Is the purple marker dissappearing ink?
    Yeah it is. It said it would disappear within 24-48 hours. Its been about 20 and every single mark is gone! It also said it would come out with water. I tried that too. Worked like a charm!
    My problem with that is is I get busy with something and do not get right back to it. It is gone and I have to remark everything again. I like the Pilot Friction pen you buy at Walgreens or Office supply . You mark it and when you are done press the marks with a iron and poof, they are gone.

    I think they have a silver pen to use on dark cloth...not sure, though.

    Try a shiver of soap on the dark areas. Works great.

    Blue painter tape works great for straight lines. Becareful with disappearing pens since they can be finicky depending on the weather. I tried once and first it disappeard too fast and they not fast enough. I use dressmaker chalk avaliable at Joann's and that come out easily but not make a fine line. Am taking a FMQ class soon so will post what teacher recommends.

    I read about some kind of disappearing pen that disappeared, but somehow the marks came back again later.

    I wonder what kind it was. The only one that I had return was the blue. I ironed it before I dampened it to remove. I have also read that if you put a little baking soda in a spritz bottle with the water, it will help to get rid of the marker. I did try it and I think it did help. Just remember don't iron the water soluable pen.

    Good to know. I ironed before I marked on it and I will definitely make sure I continue that way. This was a dritz quilting pen

    I might try this. Would it mark on black? And is it just a regular ink pen? I know pilot makes several kinds. Is the friction with the rest of the pens?
