I have started signing mine and I'm using the Pigma Micron that Norbana and others are using.
I am heat setting mine also. I don't know that it is necessary but it makes me feel better.
Thank you. Those are the one's you use for scrapbooking also..right?

HI, been out this weekend and just getting to my emails and fun......I am using a pen called Y & C Fabric Mate from Hobby Lobby, but I found one like it at JOann's. Hope this helps, they were $1.99 each.

As long as they have either "waterproof" or "for fabric" on them and are pigment ink they should be O.K. But I always try them on a scrap of fabric, iron it to heat set (I'm not sure if this is necessary but I do it anyway) and wash it and iron it dry. I do this with every pen I use, just in case.

I use the same pen, and it is necessary to heat set it. I place a scrap of my white material over the writing and heat, on cotton, for ten seconds. You try your pen on a scrap of the white you are using, then heat set one sample and leave one sample as is. Wash it and see what happens. Mine set well at 10 seconds, at 15 seconds it was the same, but I don't want to scorch it.
