I think we should point out that you should try each of these on scraps before marking on your top! Some of the blue pens will be permanent if heated, so will come back when laundering, etc. So, try your samples out, then do everything you will do to it from now on, wash, dry, hang on the line, iro, whatever, just be sure it will come out and stay gone. I have to say I did not know some of the blue pens would come back until this summer. I was very lucky NOT to have used one of those in the past because Iloved the blue ones! Right now, I am using the white Clover pen, until someone tells me different!

What kind is this? I would love one.

I think this is the white clover pen.

Definitely! I always test on the same fabrics I use in my quilt but sometimes what washes out of pre quilted fabric doesn't wash out of the quilt once I've quilted it. :? Sometimes the marks stain my cream/white threads and sometimes the chaco-liner would wash out but not always. Now, I quilt a sample of my scraps to see how it works.

It is the white Clover pen. I was in Joann's this afternoon and bought it. I also bought the white leads and mechanical pencil that Fons & Porter uses. I have a teacher's discount at Joann's so I was able to get 15% off the total order and used two of my 50% off coupons. I also got the chalk liners (NOT chaco-liner) but other ones. I'm going to work up some quilted samples today and see how they all work together and if any do not wash out.

The best pen I found that works is the Frixion made by Pilot, it disapear like magic when you put a hot iron on it. You can get them at Office Max or Walgreens. I found them once at Wal Mart, but can't fine them any more. I been looking for a white one but no luck as of yet. They come in blue, black, red, orange, and pink. You can also get them of the internet, just google Frixion. Hopes this helps. I messed up one of my quilts because I couldn't get red markings out.

I use these ones too. So far - I have not experienced a problem.

I have been useing the one at WalMarts that is blue on one end and purple on the other. I use a washcloth and wipe color off after each row of quilting. When I finish the quilt, I wash the quilt in mild detergent and dry in the dryer. Works for me.

Has anyone used these long enough to verify that the marks stay gone? The blue markers I used to use would disappear completely with water but would reappear lightly sometimes and not go away again.

the washable markers I get in the dollar store, just make sure you test first
