I have been using them for about a year.. I use the purple and black, also have pink.
I like them but you should be aware the marks may return lightly for a while if they are exposed to cold. I tested them before I used them. But marks will be removed with heat even then. I have mentioned this to the people I have give the quilts to and suggested washing in warm water rather then cold.
Another used is writing in books and cards. When you are finished just remove with the iron. I have a yellow one I use to highlight.

I've been using Crayola washable markers now since I saw that hint on this forum about a year ago. They do in fact wash out, and if left on a quilt in progress long enough, they just fade out without washing. I think I paid less than two dollars for a whole assortment of them at Staples.

Love that! I found them on Amazon and put a set in my cart. I love that they come in different colors!

I've been looking for a pen like this....Good to know!
Thanks,
V.

Just to note:
Nancy Notions has the pens on sale right now for 6 @ $12.99 and she has free shipping for order over $15 until the 13th. if anyone is interested.

I scanned the web for more news on these marking pens. I'm very suspicious of marking pens, so I'm biased against all them--they are out to get me, you see. I wanted to share a cautionary post, and warn all of you to test, test, test.

If you read on through the comments, a couple of responders said the ghost marks disappeared after a day, and another lady said she washed her quilt in Synthrapol and scrubbed the marked with a toothbrush and the gel washed out and didn't come back in by freezing.

Scrubbed out with a toothbrush....that's good, but not the easy miracle I hoped for!
