Norma H 72 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Great article - I know it's been discussed here before, but not this detailed. Thanks Oma. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Battynurse 79 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 That is good. I've noticed the ghost marks before on my stuff, but not super often. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Primitive1 802 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Thanks for the info...I now mostly use air erasable purple markers or just chalk.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Quilting Heidi 1,398 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I read this article too and thought it was very good article. When Sharon Schamber came to our guild she said that you can use dry cleaning solvent to remove the ink. I have never used them because I had heard of the nightmares of marks coming back. I had a friend that used it on a quilt for show and the marks did come back a little during shipping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PamelaA 4 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Very good information to know. I have had some experience with the ghost marks. I will be more circumspect when using the pens in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corey 386 Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 I used it once 5 years ago on my personal quilt. Since then I've decided not to use Frixion because of uncertain results especially for customers quilts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
judyday 167 Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 I have some also. I had decided last year not to use them on my quilts after reading a similar article. Just use them on other sewing projects. Judy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loraquilts 167 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Wow, glad I ran across this thread. I love my Frixion pens and have used them quite a bit to mark fabric. In fact, that's all I use them on. I love how the ink just steams off (or so I thought). Now I'm going to have to find another safer method for marking fabric -- quilts and garments. : ( Hey, do you think if we petitioned Pilot they would invent a disappearing ink pen that IS designed to work on fabric?
