Going to pic some up today...I hope they are just fabulous to use! Thanks for the tip!

If you freeze the quilt, below 14°F, it will re-appear. A quick tap with the iron, over 140°F, will remove it once more.

This was discouraging because I had hoped to find the perfect marking method. Joy |
Hmmm...good info...I am going to take note and get some of these...it's hard to find a good marking pen that works..thanks..

I guess if I decide to freeze my quilt that I will get the iron out and iron the marks out again. I have not had any
markings come back and it has been very cold around here. |
