Last week I saw a post on FB about frixion pens and how someone heard that Crayola washable markers were better!
I figured I’d try them out if I went to walmart or a craft store and the girls could always use the markers if they didn’t work out for me
First I tried the marker on a tiny piece of fabric and then wet and it and rubbed a LOT to get it to come off and I was not happy…. I was thinking it needed all that friction like with kids’ clothes….
Then the next day I tried again on a bigger scrap
then I wet it and let it sit
once it was all dry, it was GONE!
No rubbing needed!!
I’m still a bit torn about these, I really love my frixion pens but like the review said, they dry out quickly.
The crayola markers are kids markers so the tip is very bold and especially after a certain 3yr old has used them and poked them into the paper instead of drawing! ha ha
So if I see the markers around, I might try them again, and if I see a pack with fine tips I’ll definitely buy them!
So my $5 for a pack of these was not a loss at all.
I want to test them out as well. They had mentioned heat and cold testing as well. Maybe this weekend I can do a little research. Thanks for your research I'm sure the girls will help out tooIn stitches Annette
I've tested them. The Frixion have not dried up for me. And I use them a lot. I tried the markers and they work great, also. You just have to remember not to iron them. I use the fine tip ones.
I saw that post, too, and have wondered about these markers. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I'm thinking I might try them. And if I don't like them for quilting, I'm sure my 5-year-old will find a use for them.
