Dritz 3086 Disappearing Ink Pen, Fine Point, Purple

Yeah, I know it says 'disappearing ink,' and it says 'use on products to be completed within twenty-four hours.' I thought that the term 'disappearing' was a leap, that this ink was just water-soluble, that if I didn't finish the project in twenty-four hours, that the ink would set and be harder to remove. Well. I was wrong. They really meant disappearing ink. And oh boy, it disappeared. I had intended to just leave the ink on and not wash it, as the thickness of the thread would cover the ink. I now realize that I won't have that problem. Attaching pictures of what looks like a blank cotton embroidery canvas because that's what I have left after, like, an hour and a half of tracing, like, twelve pieces. The second picture has the barest imprint of letters. This is notable because I definitely had to press harder than what the instructions suggested and most of the ink has gone.

I've always used these fine point disappearing ink pens for my sewing projects. They are usually around $8 at the local craft store but when Amazon had them on sale for $4 I bought a whole stack of them! They don't last as long as I think they should but overall they do a good job. And really, there aren't many options and I don't like using chalk. I love the fine tip and disappearing ink features.

must have for embroidery

This is the second one of these I've bought, and found that it works great on aida fabric for cross stitch or embroidery. It is easily removed with water, but if you wait, it'll also fade after a day or two in the air. It does have a rather fine point, so while that's good for closer weave fabric, using it on fuzzier fabrics meant using it more to see the line and thus it runs out quicker, (so something with a broader point might work better with that). It's something I've found has made my crafting much much easier!

me sirve bien ^_^
