Don’t throw away those deodorant bottles wash out and reuse to wash away wrong blue lines on fabric. (Mum has removable top).
I was also told by a lady who sold quilting products at a craft fair Blue pens can ruin your projects if not washed out right away.
Thank you for this idea, usually keep water in a small milk jug thingy, without exception always knock it over. Have also ruined items by pressing embroidery without first removing blue pen. Some times it takes a while to learn by My mistakes.
like that idea. joann
I like your idea, I use a small spray bottle with water in it.
I also use a spray bottle. I have found that if it is a material I haven’t used before I check to make sure it would come out first. I have had towel sets that I have started and didn’t get the set finished and have left the blue in for a while (a couple months even) and it has washed out really easy. I do know it warns you never to apply heat so I am careful for that.
I take it you are talking roll on type of bottle. Wonderful idea!
I would NEVER in a million years use a pen to mark my fabric. for at least 20 years i have been using (exclusively) the air erasable pens.
they come in pink or purple. I prefer the purple because it shows up on everything, even the darker fabrics. Pink might be the way to go if you are marking black, of course.
After a day (2 at the most) the markings go away all by themselves!!!!! When I buy, I buy 2 and when I start using the second one, I buy another one. I think I would panic if I didn’t have one when I needed it.
Anyway – hope this helps somebody to ease their marking steps. (I even use it on plastic canvas)
PENS !! NEVER !! i use chalk if i need to mark anything, when i am finished i use a small finger nail brush to brush off,
i do lots of leather for motorcycle clubs and use chalk all the time. Dollar store and comes in several colors
