This post
is for my fellow quilters, sewers and crafters :)
After lots
of love and care in planning designing and sewing a special holiday gift, I was
at the quilting stage only to have this happen….
My Pilot Frixion markers, which I have been in LOVE with, left a very visible bleached mark after ironing – I was horrified!
I've used
the very same marker on other fabric without any issues, but it would seem
these blue Kona cottons are the exception. I've also since tried it out on other dark fabrics with the same effect :(
A quick google search proved others are having similar issues, so beware! Test each new fabric first before marking your beloved quilt tops.
And apparently the pens aren't any better. For any of us living in a cold climate, I also discovered this problem with markings “blooming” back in the cold – ugh just when I thought I had found a great solution.
Got any
great tips? Share them in the comments so we can all find a worry free
technique!!
