I found you through a comment you left on Fabric Mutt about your linky party. Great idea to have a link up for tips and lessons! I've just added a link to it, myself. I love your tips for this month, too!

It makes me so mad! I thought if I bought an expensive one, It would last longer. Not the case! I freak out using any kind of marker/pens on my quilts. Instead I use my Hera marker.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719432822327081144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8316079433124165960.post-7076567377581774442016-03-13T16:54:09.002-06:002016-03-13T16:54:09.002-06:00Oh, the dreaded spitting iron!

It was my first try and had some mistakes but geesh - it was like the iron spit on it on purpose... I love using the Frixion pens but only use them on white fabric or when I know the mark won't show, like marking the lines for HST's.

I checked the heat and it was on Cotton, but come on! Anyway, now whenever I iron it smells like burnt toast. I'll make a new cover for it soon as I get the time. Sigh. He got it because my old one he thought looked raggedy. If he ever sees this one, I wonder what he'll think.

I have learned to use the "blast of steam" feature or cleaning feature of my iron to prevent that. The brown stain is caused by burnt lint in the steam holes of the iron. I put some water in my iron, I usually use it dry, & do the shot of steam thing over an old towel until all of the yuckies are out. I usually use Dritz Iron Cleaner at the same time to get all the burnt starch off the sole plate.QuiltKid2https://www.blogger.com/profile/12806571756156146481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8316079433124165960.post-31046604476732938512016-03-02T11:53:25.033-07:002016-03-02T11:53:25.033-07:00All very good lessons!

Being a scientist, when someone told me the Frixion pen marks come back in the cold, I took a scrap of white fabric, marked on it with a black Frixion pen, erased it with an iron, and stuck it in the freezer. After a few minutes, the mark was back! Even though I live in the South, I'm not using Frixion pens for marking. I find that the Clover air erasable purple pen is very good at coming out, but I really prefer a mechanical pencil. Since I wash my quilts, it's not an issue.lalaluuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580283923549389072noreply@blogger.com
