What is the best pen/ink for signature quilt blocks??


Recommended Posts

What pen/ink do you recommend using for signature blocks? I'm making 6.5 inch squares of Roc-Lon bleached perma pressed 100% cotton muslin that I have prewashed and pressed..

 

I would appreciated any suggestions..... thanks!!!

A Pigma pen in the color you want will work fine as long as it's heat-set.

 

I've used these for inking on fabric and they work well without needing to be heat-set.

These also work well.

I'm sure you've read this hint before, but back the sig squares with ironed-on freezer paper so you get a clear signature. And if you have time, use a erasable marker to mark the seam line and tell people to sign inside the lines. Sometime people will want to write a long entry and fill the entire block, resulting in part of their writing captured in the seam.
