You're welcome! To me one of the most important parts is how easy it is to remove. I've mistakenly used marking pens that were incredibly difficult to remove in the past - so frustrating when that happens!
Thanks for sharing! The ones I use the most and trust are the mechanical pencil, the Fine Point Mark-B-Gone, Clover Fine White Marking Pen, and the Pictogram Pen. I own the chalk Pencils and Pounce pad. but haven't tried them yet.
Great question! For quilt sandwiches, I like a Hera Marker. It actually isn't a traditional "marker" - it doesn't have ink. It looks like a bone folder and makes creases in the fabric.
A helpful video, but wish you had given specific name of each one that you were demonstrating. The water erasable pens some work better than others. I love the Mark Gone pen, but it doesn't seem to have much ink. Also what is best way to store these tools--standing up, upside down, or laying down? Thank you.
@@CarolinaMoore I just used a blue water erasable marker made by singer and it bled on my white fabric distorting all my lines and did not wash out completely. So disheartening.
Oh, no!! The water soluble markers usually need to be blotted away, not just made wet. But they do have different amounts of pigment. I usually use Clover brand. ❤
Different marketers for different purposes... which is why I own all of them! For the back of fabric, my favorite is a mechanical pencil. For the front of fabric, I prefer a Hera Marker or chalk pencil. Sometimes the blue water soluble. If I'm handling the fabric a lot, the chalk will wear away. But the blue marker means washing it out and waiting for the project to dry... there is no one "best" tool for all situations.
Thank you so much for taking the time to not only show all the different kinds but to demonstrate how to remove them too!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! So many different marking pens out there!
Great explanation of the pros and cons of different markers

There are SO many options for marking fabric ... I love that I can select the one that best suits my purpose!
Lots of great information. Thank you for sharing this.
I'm glad you found it helpful! 🥰
Good information, will need to look further into which ink is best for my needs.
Thanks! And I keep lots of different pens around ... different projects have different needs.
Excellent information thank you very much!
You're welcome! I hope it was helpful. ❤
Oh I love the information. But what works on batting. For marking your diagonal lines to sew on

Awesome thank you
My pleasure! I actually have a video on using a Hera Marker, if that helps...th-cam.com/video/49Y-2H0B8dE/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for the feedback! Is there a specific one you'd like the name of, I can see if I can get you those details. ❤

Never said which marker she uses. A little long on the disadvantages of friction less time on which one you you would chose and why
