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

Product Information

I’ll continue to stick with safe, easy to use Clover or general chalk pencils that brush off easily, and rinse out with water – leaving just Fabric! Compatible with many FRIXION Family pens, this set can be used on its own or can be coupled with one or more FriXion Set2Go desk organisers. One of Pilot’s latest packaging innovation made of 100% recycled plastic, designed and manufactured in Europe by PILOT.

Although there are a number of different variants of pens in the Frixion range these days ranging from the Standard pen, to their Fineliner, and then to their most recent addition, their Highlighters, they all tend to work in a very similar way.I have not discovered that the ink bleeds through to the front of the square and the marks are my stitching lines when I use my Quilter’s Magic Wand from Deb Tucker’s Studio 180. The leuco dye is what provides your Frixion pen with its unique color depending on the color you purchased and although the most popular are black and blue, the modern Frixion range offers pens of all ink colors.

Thanks to the patented thermo-sensitive ink, PILOT has - true to tradition - revolutionised writing with the erasable pen FriXion Ball. The tip of the pen is rubbery and you rub it over the writing, creating friction and erasing the ink.I rarely use any starch, but will pick of some of Mary Ellen’s alternative to have on hand, and I won’t take any responses as gospel. Although the regular pens do work with fabric, the Fineliner or the Highlighters tend to be a better option for getting the Frixion ink onto any fabric with decent detail while retaining the erasable properties of the ink.

The Ball Zone is available in different body styles, including those with marbled resin or wooden grip sections in addition to standard rubber grips. Don’t get me wrong, the Frixion pens are great in some situations so no worries about having purchased one! There are 8 (or 10) tucks on each stripe, and there’s a stripe down each front piece, and three stripes down the back.

The way I make pin tucks is to measure carefully on the RIGHT side of the fabric and draw lines the length of the tuck. This is a common trick that people take advantage of as a few minutes in the majority of domestic fridge freezers will be able to reactivate this bond and make the ink visible again. One of the more common ones and a system that is very popular with people who use the Rocketbook notebook range is to take advantage of a microwave.

Whilst many of the blue pens have improved, I would still be anxious about using them as a result of the problems I have come across, even though thousands of quilters and embroiderers love them.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. Heat ironing again made the marks disappear, but knowing the ink is still there makes me feel sad about all the hours put into my quilt.
