A problem with Frixion pens?
#21
The ink will wash out with soap and water. I just toss my quilt in the washer when I'm done. I haven't had any color of the pens come back even with the sample I put in the freezer. The sample was laundered before freezing. I'm not concerned about my quilts lasting for future generations, they can make their own. LOL

I've only used Frixion pens on light colors. I changed my mind, ironed it and away the marks went. Since I don't plan to keep the quilt in a freezer, I don't anticipate any problems. So far, I haven't found anything better. froggyintexas

Today this board had a tute on how to sandwich a quilt. No mention of school glue. I'm using glue to sandwich my quilt today. The back is on and it's time to do the top. I had thought that school glue was getting to be common knowledge, also.

i love my frixion pens!!! They are the best to mark and i'll second the fact that they wash out when thrown in the washer. And get this - I found them at the school/teacher supply store - for CHEAPER than anywhere else. I had school supply money to spend and since I don't know which bldg I'll be in next year or which grade I'll be teaching - i bought about 6 of them!!

Thank you all so much for your inputs! I did wash the quilt and all ghostly markings disappeared. Unlike everyone else, apparently, I do not routinely wash my quilts when they're done. I don't always pre-wash and guess I'm afraid to see the mixed results... So far I've been lucky. Here's a picture of the finished quilt.
