Water Soluble Quilt Blue Markers

[@beverleybrowning3480]

Such useful tips as usual! Another suggestion is to spritz the marks using 1/2 tsp of baking soda mixed in a spray bottle with a cup of water. Wipe gently with a cloth (or your sponge brush). This absolutely removes the marks.

I swear by these as my primary marking tool and have even started selling them in my Etsy shop! I trust these SO much more than frixion pens. I just feel like if I'm going to put the time, money, and skill into making something, I might as well reach for a marking tool that's NEVER coming back!

I learn something new and useful from you every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you.

Those are great tips for people who do not know how to work with the water erase pens. I, personally, like the sponge brush. I, also use the sponge brushes to remove water soluble stabilizers from my machine embroidery projects. Great video, Laura.👍💖🧵

I love the blue markers. My favorate way to remove the marker is to throughly wash the quilt. My friend has trouble with them with her water. They come back, even after she throughly washes the quilt. My only complaint about them is they don't last long! For what the cost, they should last longer!

Love the suggestion of using the foam brush! Thank you for another wonderful video. Always learn something new from your videos. It’s almost 90 today here in Pittsburgh PA and you are making me sweat wearing TWO sweaters! 🤣. Hope it warms up soon for you.

I like the idea of the paint sponge, who knew, oh you did. That is better than a spray bottle, thanks again for another great tip

[@maryjoboyle606]

This is a great tip. I've used a rag to remove those lines and sometimes I had to rub so hard that the quilt top got stretched! Thanks for sharing!

[@christineannematias5138]

Thank you for this wonderful tip, I have been reluctant in using these markers, for this reason, I was frightened to spoil the work of the quilt by setting the blue line into the quilt. Now I am sure to make light work on my next quilt using both the blue maker and the sponge brush

Do you live in Alaska? I use frixion on all my quilts and have never seen a line come back. 48 quilts, no lines. Anyway if they did go over gently with an iron again - apparently that works. 😊

LOVE the sponge paintbrush idea! Thank you!!

[@jwall6006]

If you use cold water and they go away, will they return if they a washed in warm water? I had one a few years ago that I thought was gone with cold water rinse. Then when I washed it a few months later in warm water and dried it, it was set for life. I’m so glad it wasn’t a gift.

Brilliant idea with the sponge paint brush! Thank you!

[@catkoe9321]

Thank you for showing the sponge paintbrush! I’m heading out to get one, or ordering online 😁

[@conniegreen4337]

You mentioned not getting anything hot near the blue marks. From what I've heard, that includes not letting a cat or dog nap on it as their body temps are higher than ours.

[@sandan2358]

Brilliant tips! I enjoy your videos 😃

[@karenbochinski]

I have a question with these markers: If there is cold weather do the marks reappear?

[@connieweeks5568]

Awesome advice as always.

[@janetflint8202]

Love the sponge brush idea, thank you

[@nathalievandenbergh9587]

What do you do if the ink comes back? I keep making it wet but it keeps coming back. Thank you!

[@veramilne8815]

How do you use them transferring pantographs to fabric

[@melmcd100]

Fantastic advice! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@susanmei9980]

Do you know how to remove it, once it’s been set with an iron?

[@SewingsWithNash]

Thank you for sharing this.. it’s very helpful..

[@collettegay1432]

My water soluble pen marker will take away the marking immediately after I spray it but comes back. Not happy with this pen

[@lynette.]

Sponge brush top tip. Thank you

[@RosalindHicksBowles]

I stopped using these. I learned the hard way if you try and rub out the blue, it doesnt come out, You have to dab it. Then when I washed it, I had to use white vinagar the 2nd time to get it all out. So definitely twst your fabric first.

Thank you for the tips.
