User questions & answers

Question:	Are there differnt colors that work as good as this pen? For fabric
Answer:	It is a very nice blue color (like the pen itself) and it washes out nicely with just a spritz of water.
Question:	How long can the marks be on the fabric and still be removed with water? Will the marks come off if the fabric after 2 weeks of marking
Answer:	I personally didn't like this pen. I do quilting and had a hard time getting it to work for me on dark fabric. I also sew knit dresses and I couldn't get it to work period. I don't know if my pen just happened to be a dud or what. If any one knows of a white marking pen that really works great I would love to hear from them. I have tried more than one brand with not much luck.
Question:	What color is it? Thanks
Answer:	It’s designed to be used on all fabrics, it erases with water spray if water is sprayed on fabric before any heat application. Heat will make it permanent.
Question:	I paint on shirts & am looking for a white pen/pencil that is good to outline on transfer paper and iron it onto a dark fabric. Will this work
Answer:	This pen is only good for the garbage. Did not leave a mark on dark fabric and seemed to be dried up. Too inexpensive to pay postage for a return so threw it away.
Question:	What all can be used on
Answer:	This pen works very well on dark fabrics. Make your markings, then let it dry. The marking will then show. To get the marks off, you need to wet it, do not iron. Ironing will set the marking. The pen will dry up if you don’t put the cover back on. Look under “heat erasable pens for fabric”. These are my now favorite. Frixion pens are good too, but there is no white pen.
Question:	Good for cross stitch gridding on dark fabric
Answer:	no I haven't.I do not think it would work. What are you trying to do?
Question:	Why doesnt it work
Answer:	It is best suited for use on fabric as it will work as intended on it. I am not sure why one would want to use a pen that has a removable ink in it on paper. I believe there are better pens out that have the options you are looking for. Just my opinion on it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Bought these through Amazon and they were dried up. None worked. Anyone else have this experience
Answer:	I am unaware of the availability of refills but I doubt it. I did, however, just take a quilting class and the instructor demonstrated that when these are used, even after heat erasing with an iron, that they leave a white bleach mark on colored fabric.
Question:	How do you get the pen open
Answer:	I have not had that happen. My quilting room is on the colder side and after marking the fabrics and then sewing and removing the lines, they have not come back.
Question:	Do you have refills
Answer:	Not in my opinion. Using this pen along with Clover Eraser pen work very well together. You will not need to spray your fabric with water to remove the marking if using the eraser pen.
Question:	Are these like the Frixion pens which leave the 'gel' in the fabric so when it gets cold the marks return & also leave a faint line on dark fabrics
Answer:	I use the thick marker for longarm quilting and applique. Sometimes I leave the marking on for months. I do not use water to remove the markings. Clover has an eraser pen that works really well to remove the marks.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many lead replacements are there
Answer:	While I don't have a .9 mm pencil to test it...from the thickness of the refills I imagine it would be no problem.
Question:	Refill for the dritz 667 Taylor's marking pen
Answer:	You remove the top piece, put the desired color into the bottom of the pencil. When the first lead is done you may have to press the top more than once to get the next lead to come down,
Question:	Can I put the refills in a regular .9 mm mechanical pencil
Answer:	Mine were not dried up at all. I've had mine well over a year and they're still working. They do need to be stored in a cup with the point side down.
Question:	How do I replace lead color without damaging/breaking the lead that's already in the pencil
Answer:	If you're having trouble opening the pen, you must have a defective pen. They open like any other pen, just pull off the cap. They really do work very well.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can the marks stay for months or maybe a year if no water is applied? I have a very time consuming bridal embroidery project, I can't keep re-marking
Answer:	I found that it disappears too soon. I have a hard time cutting out fabric after using it to adjust on the fabric. would not buy it again
Question:	Will this pen work on skin temporarily and wash off? I am a student phlebotomist. Need pen to aid in marking veins but wish to remove right away
Answer:	No they don't last. I found through my sewing machine center FRIXION BALL CLICKER. It comes with seven pens that look like a regular ball point pen. And comes with seven colors. They are erasable/retractable/refillable. These are by Pilot. I found that after I've finished my project and want to remove my markings, I hold a steam iron about 3-4 inches over it and the markings disappear. I paid $20.99 for it and just looked on Amazon and they have them for $11.32. You will love it as I do.

Answer:	4 White, 3 green, 3 pink
Question:	I bought one of these pens..not from amazon, I wanted to ask do they normally only last one 11" quilt stencil worth for blue thats all mine lasted
