A note of caution with them, I'm working on a multi-colored patchwork quilt top now, and I used a purple FriXion pen to label each piece, so as to not get the order messed up. The pen marks did disappear with a hot iron on lighter colors, but they turned white and are visible still on brown, purple, red, and darker blue & green fabrics. I'm hoping the white ink residue will come out in the wash...Michelle Olsen Sasakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16331418808688939638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-73249573311193431682012-08-10T19:52:03.599-05:002012-08-10T19:52:03.599-05:00I love the spools.
