I LOVE them. I have no concerns with them because I wash all my quilts when I am finished making them and the gel ink completely disappears.Grammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432267820274588921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724265385853559388.post-18560048056534132802011-08-15T10:30:34.386-05:002011-08-15T10:30:34.386-05:00I'll have to give them a try.I'll have to give them a try.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724265385853559388.post-31170454247094766002011-08-13T21:17:59.842-05:002011-08-13T21:17:59.842-05:00looks great!

I can't find any "archival safe" indicators on the packaging and am worried about them eating away at my fabric over the years.peawinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775307842178822859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724265385853559388.post-92052663468592357632011-08-11T10:44:35.579-05:002011-08-11T10:44:35.579-05:00Dawn, I have used these pens quite a bit and love ...Dawn, I have used these pens quite a bit and love them. However, there is a down side to them. The marks come back if the fabric is exposed to cold. I found this out an embarassing way. I marked the quilting lines on a small quilt I made for AAQI. This was in February. Once the quilt got to Ami Simms, she emailed me and asked what I had used to mark the quilt. I told her what I used and she told me the quilt was recieved with the markings showing. Since it was mailed in winter the quilt got cold and the markings came back. I now only use the pen to mark applique or for quilts I plan on keeping for my self. Even though the marks come back in cold they will dissapear again with an iron. Hope this information will anyone who plans on using this pen.

Just a weird question.. but quilts are used for keeping warm somewhere cold.. and I'd love to use this to mark a detailed design on some white fabric, and then stitch it.. but I'd hate to do all that work, and then have the marking come back again.Mommarockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551129981851834217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724265385853559388.post-5831206054073874642011-08-11T09:59:16.730-05:002011-08-11T09:59:16.730-05:00I've used these before but what do you mean by...I've used these before but what do you mean by thermo sensitive?
