water soluble dressmaking pencil problems
#1
Is anyone else having problems with the lead breaking?
I can sharpen mine, and then it pulls loose from the inside of the pencil. It is like the blue lead inside is broken.
I use these pencils for marking on fabric all of the time.

I have had that problem with marking pencils before. I wonder if they weren't dropped in shipping and the lead is just in pieces inside so that it falls apart when you use it. It is very annoying and expensive.

I can just imagine my hubby's response when he finds my pencils in the freezer :roll:

From time to time I have that problem with dressmaking pencils, and with regular colored pencils. I assume it is like a previous poster said, they were dropped at some point and the lead inside broke. I haven't come up with any solution yet.

And I thought I was the only one with that problem. Maybe we could all send a message to the maker and let them know we aren't able to use their product because they are defected. I have had an awful time of finding markers that are safe and work well. They are expensive.
