Disappearing fabric marker
#1
I use a disappearing fabric marker for machine embroidery and quilting. Only problem is that it disappears so fast that sometimes I can't get what I marked done before it is gone. Does anyone know of one that will stay longer or perhaps until washed? If the phone rings the marks are gone by the time I get back to what I was doing.

there is another marker that looks just like the disappearing one that must be washed out. probably labeled "water erasable"
The one I have is titled "The Fine Line Water Erasable Marking Pen" distributed by Collins and available at any store selling sewing/quilting notions. Removed with plain water.

I use a purple disappearing marker. I find it tends to stay for several hours unless it gets sunlight on it, in which case, yeah, it'll just vanish straight away. :)
I've used the blue water-erasable markers but have read from several people on this board that the lines reappeared after a year or so and then were brown and indelible. Ouch! I haven't used mine for long enough to know whether that's actually true (sometimes people will just repeat something they've heard!), but it's making me a bit wary of them.

Ihave a double ended marker. Purple end says "disappearing ink" and it goes away pretty quickly. The blue end says "Mark-B-Gone" and it stays until it gets wet. I've had no trouble with either end staining my quilts. I believe it came from Joann's.

FYI
Someone on this board mentioned a new marker on the market.
I found it at "Walgreen's". It's called FRIXION made by pilot.
There are 2 in the package.
The marks disappear with friction or an iron.
I am using it on the quilt I am making, called "Essentially Irish"
by Fons & Porter.
Good luck! (((HUGS))) Auntobby

I've used both ends of this one and never had an issue with it. My WM sells fabric and they have it.

The pens I LOVE are the Purple Marvy Markers. The purple stay for a few hours, and will disappear with a spritz of water or just with time. If it happens to be a rainy day or really humid where you are, the marks disappear quicker. In the desert where I am, they sometimes last for days, so I usually use the spray bottle.

I used a Crayola washable marker to mark the last quilt I quilted. Since I was quilting it on my Janome 6600 it took a couple of weeks from the time I first started until I got the binding finished and put the quilt in the wash. I used the marker with the light pink cap as I have heard there are some colors that don't wash out as well as others. Every mark I made came out in the wash.
