Pens for a quilt label
I am ready to apply a label to a finished quilt for Christmas. What kind of pen/pens do you recomend me purchase. I don't believe I have noticed them displayed in the local quilting stores.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Just last week I went to a local art store because I knew I wanted to audition the pen colors. Found what I was looking for there. The LQS's don't let you audition pens and my material is such that it needed a particular color.
Just a FYI about other options available.

i use the micron pigma pens- they are acid free- archival quality, permenent, do not run, bleed or fade. come in a variety of colors (i have a 16 color set)
the sharpies are ok but get the fuzzy edges- micron pigma pens do not fuzz on the edges- they stay (crisp) on fabrics.
there are a number of permenent fabric markers on the market- Nancy's Notions & Clotilde's offer a variety- so do most craft stores, like Joanne's, Michaels, Hobby lobby...
