Three strands will easily cover the line.

Micron pens come in 2.5 width nibs, so that is what I would call fine. I think I must go on looking for an ideal solution for thicker fabric. How difficult can it be to have a properly fine pen and one that washes out too?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-16021473347748284482016-10-25T13:05:39.680-05:002016-10-25T13:05:39.680-05:00I've been really happy with it.

Tracing doesn't work very well on this material, so I have to use either a transfer pen or Sulky Sticky Fabri-Solvy.

I don't know what the deal is with me, but I have gone through two of those water soluble marking pens, you know the blue ones they sell at Joannes, and I have had trouble washing out both of them! I have her and multiple things because I have sketched a design with them only stitched over part of it and then not been able to wash out the rest :-).

I would've stopped right there if I hadn't found the water soluble marker. Thanks for the product reviews.

Happy Stitching, Mollie :)Stitchinkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403389390907157504noreply@blogger.com
