Some friends and I are contemplating making a friendship quilt. Does anyone have any suggestions for what type of marker/pen to use for the handwritten messages? Is a Sharpie adequate? I have a prayer quilt that was made when my son was born. I don't know what was used to write on it but it faded badly after just one wash.
Thanks

You can also use ZigWriters. They're archival, acid free and don't bleed. They're cheaper than Pigma Pens and you'll find them in the scrap book department. The ZigWriters also come in a good variety of colors and tip types.

Ironing freezer paper to the back stabilizes the fabric when writing. Also press with an iron will set the ink.
I have read man review and these pens get the highest recommendation by quilters.
