always TEST no matter what you choose to use for a marking pencil- test it on the fabrics you plan to use it on to make sure it will come out the way you expect it to---and remember to not iron (heat set) or place in a hot dryer- before all markings have been removed.

They are .9mm.

Ghostrider,
Thanks for the info on the .9 mm size of the marker refills. I looked at some mechanical pencils that I have and Papermate has a .9 size. I'm going to get a refill and see how it works in the pencil. Will let people know.

Haven't tried them yet, but have tried the "FriXion" pens that you just iron off! They work GREAT! I must say I was apprehensive to actually put it on a quilt top, but started with just a amall area...ironed it right out of there! I love this product!

I'll be watching this post for sure!
