Pilot Pen Frixion Erasable Rollerball Pen - Assorted Colours (Pack of 4)

Product Information

You are welcome Margie. I am so glad that your attitude is “so that they can make their own decisions”. I think it is important to test on that particular project with that particular marking pen.

Jenny thanks for the great article, my experience with Frixion pens found everything you said to be true.Thank you for your comments Sylvia. It sounds like you long arm maybe? I know as a domestic sit down quilter I can’t mark with chalk-it will wear off before I’ve quilted it unfortunately. I like the blue wash outs also-it’s my go-to marking method. I have to wonder why Pilot developed a pen that disappears with heat but should only be used on paper. I mean really, who ever irons paper!!?? And, if you were going to write something why would you want to have a way to make it disappear.? I guess it might be valuable in Washington, D.C. ;-) Thanks for the response. I didn’t know about the corn base, but now understand why bugs would love it :)

Glad this worked for you Pam-ghost marks are not on all fabrics. I will tell you from experience your results are not the norm so don’t expect the same results each time-please test beforehand!Thank you for writing and Thank you for all the research work you did on this product and then sharing the results with everyone. I have been tempted to buy these pens and now do not think I will. I appreciate all your work

Hi Patty; they were created so that the user could erase ink the same way they could erase pencil. Then quilters came along and repurposed them on fabric, hence the problems.Amodex sold at one of the office stores, near the permanent markers. Removed all my ghost marks on a project but it took me hours of scrubbing with a toothbrush. Product works great but so time consuming. Thx for this informative post Yes Cindy, it has certainly taught me to beware of anything I put on my quilts, even if everyone else is using it. Thank you for your comment. I think there are varying opinions on marking methods. Pat (above) uses the Crayola Ultra Clean markers with no problem. I generally use blue wash outs. And remember the Frixion pens are good if you aren’t going to get the quilt cold and the pens don’t ghost on the fabric you’re using. No matter who says what, make sure you test your marker on your project. And have fun at it! Thanks for the info,, I’m a new quilter and I love these pens , but I don’t what marks showing up later.. what would be a good way of marking or a different making pen… thanks for any info… Wow, never occurred to me to use the ghost marks to my advantage-great idea Catherine! Thank you for commenting.
