Water Erasable Pen, also named Water Soluble Pen, Water Disappear Pen, Water Erasable Marker will not disappear by self, but can be removed completely with plain cool water or damp cloth/sponge. Pen marking can stay long time after writing if not removed.

It is an ideal use for temporary marking and memo writing in sewing, quilting, embroidery and craft projects.
Can write on paper, cloth, wool, plastic etc.
Two colors are available: blue for light color materials and white marker for dark ones.

I use them all the time thay work well,be careful to make sure the caps go on each time you use them as they dry out very quick.. I did hear from my embroidery class a few days ago that they now think that some brands can rot the fabric. If anyone knows more on this i would like to know .thanks.

I use these all the time. Just spray on a little water to remove. DO NOT iron or press before removing because the heat can set the color and you won't be able to remove it. Once I marked an entire quilt for machine quilting and used a marker that disappeared being exposed to air. Now I'm pretty careful not to buy that kind anymore. :)

A much less expensive alternative is to use the children's washable fine felt tip markers. I use these all the time, you can get a whole box of about 8 for around $3.00... price will vary as to where you live and what store, but less expensive!

Yes I use both the water soluble and the air soluble and they both work really well.
You must remember NOT to use anything but WATER to remove the water soluble and if the air soluble hasn't disappeared quickly enough you can also use plain water to remove it.

I use a spray bottle filled with filtered water.

Also remember not to use water soluble marker on any material that water will mark.

I also use old fashioned tailor's chalk that comes off with a simple brushing.

I like to mark my fabric with a full vertical and horizontal line it makes hooping straight so much easier than if you only put a couple of small marks.
