Questions & Answers

Even if you leave it on for weeks while working on a slow project in your spare time, will it still come out?

I say yes! My cross stitch was marked approximately two weeks after I acquired the product on December 6th, 2015. As of today, July 27th 2016, I just washed the corner to see if the markings had come out. They had and left no trace behind. Due to the fact that I rotate projects, it can take me a long time to complete I marked it years ago, and it is still as clear as when I did Please accept my sincere thanks for your help.

The process of this seems complicated to me. have printed out a copy of my drawing and want to transfer it to the weaver's If that is the case, then what should Is that okay?

I'm a little confused by it. If I can see the image through the cloth, then I trace it with an embroidery marker. I find some images online, make them the size I want in a program, then hold the fabric up to the computer and see if I can see the image through the cloth. The pen can also be used to draw directly on the fabric. It works for tracing templates as well. The other way to transfer is to buy a sheet of preprinted transfer sheets, lay them right side up on the fabric, and iron the design onto it. It depends on the situation whether I use one way or the other. You're off to a great start!

When I cross stitch, I am wondering if I would like to use this on aida cloth. How long would it take for this to completely disappear if left on there for a month or two?

Putting this on a stitch a long seemed like a good idea. They were working on it for nearly one year and finally finished it

This pen has a long lifespan, how long does it ?

The one I used to grid an 18-count cross stitch in late December 2015 was mine. Despite being clear and still visible, the lines remain exactly as they were. My white adia cloth was able to wash it out just fine from a small section when I tested it on a small section. This pen is tightly shut, and the ink is still just as good as when I first bought it. As far as I know, previous pens like this last several years if you don't leave the cap off too long.

A TRANSFER pen is NOT what this is! A transfer is when you draw on paper and then transfer it to another item like a As for the title or design of the package, I don't know why they use the word transfer at all
3/5

A TRANSFER PEN IS NOT AN ACTIVITY FOR THE TRANSFER OF DATA! Drawing the pattern directly on the fabric is the way to do it. If you don't transfer your pattern to something else, then you can't transfer it Make sure you take precautions! There are hundreds of markers like this in my collection, so it has a good value. The pen I wanted was a transfer pen, which this is not.

It works and washes out easily but bleeds into adjacent This has been helpful to me on a few occasions
3/5

I like that it is easy to use and that it washes out easily so that there is no worry about it staining my fabrics. It bleeds beyond the line that I'm trying to mark and that's the only thing that I don't like about it. Whenever I sew, I always have to count the squares, so that I know on which line the mark is supposed to appear. In some cases, it obscures the first line and makes it hard to see where each square goes. In order to fix this, it may be necessary to refine the point of the marker. It wouldn't be worth my time to buy this item The picture below shows an example of a piece of fabric that I gridded using a marker so you could The tip of the pen is so big that it makes it difficult to keep it on the line when marking the fabric it jumps too easily from one line to the next. While marking your fabric, you should be as fast as you can. The line must be dark enough to be discernible without bleeding excessively from keeping it on the fabric for too long. So I find it better to make two passes on the line with a light hand.

Pen that is great for marking and transfer of designs on fabrics
5/5

This fabric transfer pen is fantastic! This does exactly what it's supposed to do. My latest project involved some changes and I used a damp, cold cloth to wipe off the spot with minimal effort. I made some changes and it simply wiped away with cold water. This marker does require some practicing when running across the fabric since the tip is quite dry. I find it difficult to get all the details on with practice, but I am a little more adept with practice. The price and function of this marker make it a profitable purchase.

If you want to get ink out of fabric, soak it
5/5

When I first used I, I only soaked the fabric I was working on and smudged the pen across the fabric. As soon as the fabric dried, the pen reappeared. As a result of seeing someone else soak their work, I tried it myself and have not had any left over.

This is a good cross-section of Pen used for stitching
4/5

Initially, I purchased this pen with the intention of gridding three projects (which have not been completed yet) but it ran out before I could finish. If you are a beginner or want to use this for cross-stitch, then this pen is perfect for you It can be used to stitch as I do. The situation is not without its setbacks, however. I can't use it on the fabric I use because the tip of the pen is too thick. When I gridded on 16 and 18 count Aida fabrics, I felt that the lines were not exactly centered. Sometimes, if I'm not careful, it appears that the next column has been gridded by mistake. Secondly, I felt as if the ink was expended too fast. In all, I gridded 10x10 squares and maybe a total surface area of 12x12" (like I mentioned, I only grid parts of the pieces at a time) so my current work in progress is not complete and I will have to get If you are interested in 14ct or larger fabric, it should work well.
However, it did not wash out with the fabric, which caused it to fade after a few minutes in slightly above-normal water. Here's your room The temperature - As of yet It is not There is quite a bit of boiling You have not left any marks behind!.

Thank you for your comment
4/5

All in all, it was a very good purchase There is nothing cozier than a cotton pillowcase I love the softness of the fabric! Because it was so plain white, I decided to embroider a simple border on the edge and used the pen to draw me some lines on the fabric. reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it bled badly into the cotton, so I ended up with a kind of blobby line. I don't see a problem with it, and it washes away easily when I was done, but I would have liked a true fine line instead of something that looked like a crayon had been used to draw It is true. Very useful for the time being.

I can't imagine anything better for embroidery than this pen! What an excellent pen! I enjoyed it a lot! It allowed me to transfer a picture of my grandparent's house onto fabric, which I later embroidered for my mother's Christmas present
5/5

I found it to be very easy to apply and didn't bleed at all. At the end of the whole design (which incorporated mostly white thread), I simply rinsed it all off in cold water and it all came right right There was no blue left These are definitely things I'll stock up on.

This is the magic of embroidery pens
5/5

A washable medium to use for putting embroidery patterns on fabrics had been on my wish list for a long time. Almost all the transfer papers I encountered left marks on my clothes that were not washable, and so I had to be extremely careful when applying patterns to them. It saves my life to have this pen! It may be difficult to print on darker fabrics since the blue ink is faint (although I don't think the ink was designed for that thing), but it's excellent on brighter fabrics. Moreover, if I make a mistake when tracing the pattern, the ink can be cleaned up by dampening a I am able to draw thick and thin lines with the pen and it works beautifully. The readings are highly recommended for anyone who likes to "go off the book" in their embroidery by going off the pattern.
