Hello Hobby Water-Soluble Blue Fabric Marking Pen (1 Count)

This fabric marker does what it says it will do when washed. I had no stains to my fabric after using this fabric marker. I would recommend the sellers brand of fabric markers.

The pen works, and has clear instructions on the back on how to use it. The color is a dark blue and is easy to see, it comes out of fabric like it’s supposed to. Just follow directions! I would recommend!

I used this pen on 100% Cotton fabric. I was transferring pattern markings (dart lines, button placement, etc). I marked the fabric just as I do with chalk. I must say, the markings were more precise and more visible. I used it on 100% cotton because cotton is washable (the instructions say do not use on dry-clean-only fabrics). I actually did test the pen on a scrap piece of the fabric that I would be using it on. When I washed it off with plain water the marks did completely disappear. The fabric had no red or pink color in it (the instructions discourage the use of the pen on red or pink fabrics). I used a very wet washcloth to strongly dab on the marks to soak them with plain water. The instructions say do not launder the pen marks with soap and do not iron them until the marks are completely removed. I am not sure that the precision and visibility of the marks are worth all of the extra trouble of removing them...

While this ink will eventually disappear, it does not do so immediately. I started with cold water, which is usually adequate for the Sew-Ology Blue Water Vanishing Marker Pen I typically use for embroidery projects. When the ink from this pen did not immediately disappear with cold water, I went with warm then hot water and also ended up scrubbing lightly with a gentle soap to remove the last signs of the ink. I'll go back to the Sew-Ology before taking a chance with this pen again.

I craft a lot. I sew, quilt, cross-stitch, embroider and so on. Using a new fabric marking pen I always test my fabrics before I use to make sure it goes on and removes with ease. For knit, I'd tread lightly, it did remove but with a bit of hassle. For a broadcloth or calico, it could be used but I wasn't pleased with the amount of work it took me to remove it, I'd be afraid the work I've done would be marred. For Aida cloth, absolute not as well as it would not come out. I tried two applications on each fabric, one just normal usage as I would feel with a fairly light touch. Second with a feather touch which I would feel wouldn't exactly be the norm for me when using a fabric pen. Rather bummed because this is the first of their line that I have been displeased with, overall great product line this one though is a pass for me.

Terrible water soluble pen - mostly because it isn't water soluble. Stained my fabric and doesn't come off easily with water. Definitely don't buy if you're intending to use it for a project you aren't going to be putting in the washing machine because it will not come out otherwise.

I have used a lot of water soluble pens and this one is the WORSE I have ever used. Ruins fabric trying to get the marker out. Total waste of time and money, not the money this cheap pen cost but the fabric it ruined

STAINS HORRIBLE ON ALL FABRICS

Stained my fabric… wasted a whole project. Next time I’ll buy the usual expensive pen that works right EVERY TIME.

I never received it.
