It Was Bound to Happen

 Below, left, is my blue Frixion pen.  I write on fabric with it and then erase it by applying heat.

Oops, that was the wrong pen. Ellen Lindner, AdventureQuilter.com/blog

Above, right is my blue ink pen, with permanent ink.

Until today they lived in the same container.  And then it happened:  I picked up the ink pen instead of the Frixion one and drew on my quilt with blue ink!  GASP!

Thankfully, I was marking an area to be stitched with black thread.  I was able to cover the marks pretty well with SEVERAL passes of black stitching.

Whew.  Heart beating again.

And I moved ALL the ink pens to another drawer.

P.S.  This is NOT the worst mistake I’ve ever made!

    Alcohol will remove a lot of ink marks.

      Thanks, Jean! I didn’t know this. I’ll definitely try it.
