Our Heat Erasable Fabric Marking Pen Refills come in a mix pack of all four colors (five of each) or single packs of each color. You choose!

Just like with our Heat Erasable Fabric Marking Pens, these refills have small, accurate writing points that leave a thin yet nicely visible line and work extraordinarily well on nearly all fabrics. The line stays visible for as long as you want and the unique gel ink in these refills VANISH EASILY with just a hot iron. Yet unlike tailors’ chalk, our sewing fabric marking pens won’t rub away before you’ve completed your project.

These pens can be used as refills but we have quite a few customers using them as pens, appreciating their small size and budget price. So it is up to you: use them as pens or use them as refills for the pens that come in our Heat Erasable Fabric Marking Pen Set (a set of 4 pens in their own carrying pouch with pen caps that feature pocket clips).

USE THESE REFILLS WITHIN 5 MONTHS!

Specifications

• Writing Point: 0.7mm
• Writing Width: 0.35mm
• Comes without a shell (compact)
• Special Heat Erasable Gel Ink

Based on your choice, YOU GET the following in your pack...

• Mixed Pack - 5 refills of each color for a total of 20 refills
• White Pack - 10 refills
• Blue Pack- 10 refills
• Red Pack- 10 refills
• Black Pack- 10 refills

Instructions & More

We recommend storing Heat Erasable Pens and Refills tip down when not in use. 

Create your lines and when finished sewing, etc., just use a hot iron to iron over the marks and make the ink disappear. There’s no need to pre-treat and launder fabric to remove ghost lines. 

USE YOUR PENS WITHIN 5 MONTHS: the pens write with a terrific, high-tech sort of gel which disappears with heat, making them the best fabric markers you’ll ever have. This comes at a price, though, as the special gel ink doesn’t stay fresh forever. Your pens will do their phenomenal thing for a minimum of 5 months, yet then they may start drying out.

With the Ruler Foot you can easily sew precise parallel lines on your projects. This presser foot is also referred to as the stitch guide foot.

To use for pressing…just rub the flat head of the tool along the seam. The friction causes enough heat to get a nice press. The dimple on top guarantees proper finger placement which not only ensures accuracy, but also the right amount of pressure. The pointy tip is perfect for use along curved or long straight seams.

To use for marking…use the pointed end and while applying pressure, run it over your fabric while using a ruler or template to run it along. It will give you a slight creased mark that you can then follow.

To use it for turning sewing projects…use the pointed end to push out corners of items that you have turned out. This will help get those hard to get to corners looking nice and finished.
