The ink will show up again only if you put your fabric in the freezer. If it does show up again, you can always reheat your fabric again. The ink is engineered to be translucent when it comes to contact with heat. So far, I have no problem using it. Just dont use it to sign any important documents.

If youre still in doubt, you can always check google or youtube about the pens and how to use them.

Try to use Pilot Frixion to grid your fabric. After you finish stitching, heat the ink with an iron and it becomes translucent. Ive been using it since last year and so far I have no problem with it. I dont need to wash and dry my project anymore. No more fuss, no more mess.

I painstakingly grid aida & linen.  Gridding linen is a pain, but it saves more pain later. I still have to count the holes, but the 10x10 grids help me to place the grid I want to go to.

I use a 4lb fishing line in neon whenever they are available.

Using grid lines helps a lot especially if youre doing a large project. But I dont use washable pe ...

The marking of the pen will return if you put your work in the freezer, I believe.
But how often do you need to put your work in the freezer?

I have also used these pens (red pen on white fabric) and not experienced any problems with the lines showing. Very pleased with the results, I also used it to mark off the chart and if I make an error - easily to rub off.

It certainly is faster as I dont have to count so much and make less mistakes.
