Prym marker self-erasing

An invisible friend for your sewing roomAre you in need of a self-smoothing marker pen in your sewing room? This clever pen from Prym is perfect for markings you don't want visible when your sewing, quilting, embroidery or other project is finished. The best invisible friend to have on hand!Test it before you beginDepending on the fabric you are working with, the pen will disappear after about 1 day. But be aware that the pen may disappear within 1-2 hours on unwashed cotton fabrics, for example. If you wash the fabric before making your markings, the lines will disappear in about 48-72 hours.Therefore, it’s a good idea to do a test in a less visible place before starting your project. Then you'll know how quickly the markings disappear.Store the pen in the best possible wayAfter opening your self-sharpening marker, store it with the cap on - and preferably vertically - to protect it from drying out.
