    I just used a Frixion pen, so far no marks have re-appeared. Just how cold does it have to be for the marks to come back? I will be pretty unhappy if the lines reappear!

    It is an awesome pen! (at least it is if the lines really do stay away!)

    Ok- I just freaked out about Frixion pens lines re-appearing- so I looked it up and the ink will reappear on paper if you put the paper in the freezer.

    So I stuck my experimental piece of fabric in the freezer- the piece I used to test the pen a few days ago.

    No ink reappeared! Then I rinsed the piece in cold water and stuck it in the freezer. Crispy frozen fabric very FREE of ink lines.

    So- this pen ROCKS! You can draw and test out whatever kind of design you'd like to on your quilt, and with just the touch of an iron it disappears! I used a black pen on yellow fabric and there is not even a trace of ink left on the fabric or the thread.
