Know of a marker that washes out?
I am trying to find something to mark gridlines on my fabric, cotton Aida or Linen (Is that cheating?).I keep making mistakes without the gridlines, especially on linen, and tried pencil, both graphite and colored varieties, but they don't come out very easily, and scrubbing is bad for beadwork.Any suggestions? Thanks! I actually like Frixion pens and markers because I can use a small craft iron to fix any mistakes I make as I grid or mark. Then, when the whole piece is finished I can iron my work like normal and poof! All marks are gone! I am using an air soluble marker, it's V-Clear Air erasable pen. Otherwise Bohin mechanical pencil works fantastic if you have coloured or darker fabrics, they have the led in many different colors i prefer frixion pens which come out with heat and i keep a small hairdryer at my desk so i can make small marks etc and remove as i go you can use DMC TRANSFER pen. it is washable pen available in your cross stitch store. It easily fades when you wash your project. I use water soluble marker <fine> by CLOVER. it has never let me down :) no traces after being washed! I use a quilting marker. It goes on blue and washes out with warm water I use Frixion pens or stitch gridlines that I remove when I'm done Thankyouforsharing! Thank you for creating this themeVery nice ! Thank you for sharing ! Watercolor pencils:) It's really easy to find it in stores and it's not expensive. I use it and advice you too. Thanks, Mirage.I'll try that! You can buy a water soluble pen at the craft store. That is where I get mine. I have noticed it fading over time though, so you might have to re grid. I forgot to tell you where at the craft shop to look for it. It's usually where you would find the dress makers chalk and such. I have a chinese/asian marked washable pentel pen. I can't read the symbols so can't tell you the brand. Our local crafts store sells them. But I also use CRAYOLA washable markers. It's made for kids so that if it gets on their clothes, it washes off. The usual local art supply shops should have those kiddie washable markers. :D Get the fine tip one though. As the fat ones go beyond a tiny square on our aida cloths. :) another solution that I'm looking at is thread.There is a product that is a grid thread.You simply baste the grids on the fabric and then pull out when done.The thread is nylon and red.Much like fishing line.There is plenty of line like that around in various colors so I am giving it a try the next time I have to grid.I can even find thread like thatin the sewing stores and it is much cheaper than the thread sold for that exact purpose. Hi, I am following this with much interest. I too, have looked for soluble pens and others in my time.
But with the new grid printed Aida (14 ct), I think this should solve most of the problems. As for the thin nylon line, well it is fishing tackle line. I got mine at the fishing tackle store.
As an invisible tacking thread it is the end all.
Mind you, they did not have bright colours then, although I read in the forum somewhere that there is one now. It s called Cajun Red. So, dont waste your time looking in the sewing store, look in the fishing store, if you still want to grid your own.
Otherwise, just buy the new gridprinted aida cloth - it is water soluble so you soak it after you finish your stitching.
importante los rotuladores lavables y los boligrafos que se elimina con el calor de la plancha. estos ultimos son muy faciles de encontrar, en papelerias o en bazares.
existen opiniones diversas de experiencia, hay personas que dicen tras planchar pudiera volver a aparecer lo marcado pero sería en condiciones muy adversas de frio. No lo he comprobado pero yo trabajo con estos boligrafos y me va muy bien.
