Can a experienced quilter answer this please?
I am making a quilt using a block called “American Chain”.
This will fit a queen size bed. Each block will be signed with the hobbies that the person likes for whom the quilt is for. I need to know if someone can tell me what kind of pen I can use that the signing will not fade or come out after washing the quilt. I need something that is VERY permanent. If you know the name of a such thing and the place to get it will you please let me know. Thank you.
I’ve tried several different brands, including Pigma Micron pens, Marvy Fabric Markers and Fabric Brush Markers, FabricMate markers, and EZ Permanent Fabric Markers from EZ Quilting. I purchased most of my markers either at JoAnn Fabrics (FabricMate and EZ), Michaels (Pigma Micron) or online at Dick Blick. Read the instructions – some markers require heat setting, which means you need to iron the print before washing.
When you have people sign the blocks, iron a piece of freezer paper to the back of the signature area. This keeps the fabric flat, which makes writing on it MUCH easier. If you want, you can add some lines on the freezer paper with a black marker. The lines show through the paper and fabric and provide writing guides.
