Hemline Fabric Marker: Wipe Off/Wash Out

I have bought three of these wipe off pens for my dressmaking and cannot rate this particular brand highly enough. I have used many different products to transfer markings from pattern to fabric including transfer paper and a serrated roller but I always go back to relying on these little gems. They are easily wiped off with a cloth dipped in cold water, the marks just dissolve away. The only thing I have found is that on certain fabrics such as lining fabric and occasionally linen the ink will bleed a little so I use sparingly, otherwise they are excellent. I have on odd occasions accidently run a hot iron over them but this hasn't set the mark and once noticed I wet it again with cold water and it still came off. The pens have a long shelf life unlike some others I have tried in different colours which are not as reliable and dry up fairly quickly. Wouldn't be without one in my basket!

Perfect

Excellent product. Leaves a nice clear line that doesn't disappear when you don't want it to. Perfect for hand quilting. Washes out wonderfully with a dab of cold water (although do test your fabric just in case)

Great product, it is even better than mentioned, when it is used you don't see it at first but as it dries it slowly appears, the nib is fine so you don't have to worry about spoiling anything. I used it on my fine navy blue aida material for needlepoint to mark out the pattern and it did the job nicely. It is supposed to wash out if you do so within a couple of weeks otherwise it stays on permanently, however I can not confirm this as I have only used it last week and had no intentions of washing it out. The item arrived on time and well packaged too.

The pen does not bleed out on the fabric and washes off SO easily. Do not need to rubb the fabric. I am very impressed

Marker feels like it’s drying out after first use which is a shame. It still works but could be better. I guess you get what you pay for

I've been looking for one of these pens for a while now, trying to find the right one and I have not been disappointed by this one. It has a nice fine tip for making more precise measurement marks and the blue shows clearly on any light-coloured fabric, allowing for accurate cutting. The best bit is that it does exactly as it promises - any remaining marks disappear using a damp cloth, leaving no trace of the pen on the final piece. This is a great essential pen for anyone sewing or altering clothes, curtains, etc.

Washable and easy to use.

Be careful and always test first. I used this on a cotton t-shirt. Marked, sewed, erased, with damp sponge. All the marking disappeared. Great, I thought. Had to use a lot of pressure and water to erase but it seemed to work. Left item to dry and when I went to look I discovered it still had many areas showing a spreading blue line. Erased, left to dry, looked, still some markings. Three times. And I can still see some areas with now faded blue marks. I've given up. It's only a t-shirt. UPDATE: Now November. I continued to use it WITHOUT problem. Just ordered another to stock up.

Dans mon cas, fonctionne très bien sur tissus coton ou doudou. Il s'efface très bien avec quelques gouttes d'eau. Je le trouve très pratique !

Dieser Stift ist bei Stick- oder Quiltarbeiten sehr nützlich zum Aufzeichnen von Mustern.Tatsächlich lässt er sich superleicht mit einem feuchten Tuch abtupfen. Je nasser das Tuch, desto leichter verschwindet die Schrift. Beschrifteten Stoff sollte man nicht bügeln, bitte erst Schrift abtupfen oder durch Waschen entfernen. Die Spitze ist sehr dünn, so dass man wirklich feine Zeichnungen auf den Stoff übertragen kann. Auf jeden Fall eine praktische Arbeitserleichterung, die ich nur empfehlen kann!

Amazing! First of these type of pens where the top stays on the back while using unlike others! All the others are such a pain to use because the top falls off, gets lost or have to put top in my mouth which is not healthy! Works very well and makes projects so much faster and easier clean up.

Habe mir den Markierstift bestellt weil ich mit der Stoffkreide nicht wirklich klar gekommen bin. Ich finde den Stift an sich von der Handhabung auf jeden Fall einfacher als die Kreide. Allerdings finde ich den Stift auf manchen Stoffen etwas blass. Ich überlege mir ob es ein normaler Filzstift nicht auch getan hätte (z.b bei Kunstleder).
