Pilot Pen Frixion Erasable Rollerball Pen - Assorted Colours (Pack of 4)

Product Information

I agree Judy. People are not only unaware of the issues, but there are some big name teachers that say you’re just not steaming it enough, which I personally know not to be true. They are still wonderful for certain situations in quilting, embroidery and sewing, the user just needs to be aware. We really do have to carefully consider ANYTHING we put on our quilts, including starch. I am SO sorry to hear about your sad tale with the Christmas wreath quilt. And I’ll bet you paid a pretty penny too. How sad for the maker also, who would be mortified to learn of this. We all just have to be careful. Your students are fortunate that you knew to warn them! I hope you are able to remove the ink. Apricot, Coral pink, Sky blue, Purple & Wine red are the 5 new colours ready to write to make your writing sweet and surprising!

I have always been very reluctant to use chemically based markers in my work. I advise my students against using them. Yes, batiks seem to be a problem for the Frixion pens. The Pilot Pen people must be perplexed-they design a product for paper. Quilters come in and start using it on fabric-and then complain about issues with it. I simply want quilters to understand the issues with Frixion pens on fabric so that they make an informed choice whether to use them. Great points Susan! I never let a Frixion touch my competition quilts. At my local guild, a quilt close to the door began to show marks (Feb show). And no, they are not acid-free. Yikes. Great, worked with your particular set of circumstances! Go for it. If these pens worked for me I would be all over that-such an easy, clear, crisp mark. I think no matter what we use, we have to test. Thanks Maggie.Yes I had my blue marks disappear once also and that was disappointing. I just wanted quilters to understand what the product is and its limitations. I too use it when I need a mark and it won’t show afterwards. Thanks for writing Michele! I used to sell them when I taught workshops but it took too long to tell each possible buyer the cautions about it. I agree-the perfect pen in the right situation!

Thank you for writing this. I have read some before and haven’t used it yet. They are getting very popular and I am worried. Thank you for your comment Ruth-I thnk they have their place, we just have to be aware of their limitations. Yikes, blue wash outs on formal wear Edie! Yeah, that is pretty risky. So many of those fabrics can’t be wet. This is a very thorough post Bless you! I have always used them sparingly, but will be super careful now. Thank you!As the popularity of the Pilot Frixion range continues to grow with each passing month while showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon, we have constantly seen more and more questions being asked. Due to the unique properties of the Frixion range, we have noticed more and more people reaching out just to ask how do Frixion pens work? Thank you Maartje, there was just so much misinformation out there, I was happy to do the research. I don’t ever want to get ink out of my competition quilts! For that type of work, they are the best of markers. Quilt lines seem to cause the most problems. Thank you for sharing Betty. Oh nooooo, that’s a bummer Terry! Sorry, but I laughed reading that. I can just imagine your dismay after oh so carefully making your label and seeing it disappear instantly. Thank you for sharing your story. What would be a good product to recommend a new quilter like myself if you are needed to mark on your quilt. I am not AS accomplished as many of you and require some guidelines sometimes but i am scared to death to use anything at all, not sure what really is best or ok.
