thanks for all your comments, it will certainly save me from redoing some of my embroidery.
oh and btw I have mine about 7 to 10 years and still in order, write my quilt lables with them and use them on AMCs to touch up good idea to use them in embroidery too.
these are great.. I use mine .. sometimes something needs a touch up..
Pigma Micron Pens are fantastic for fabric. I teach fabric painting and use these pens all the time for outlining and fine detail. They are really permanent and I have never had a problem with them. They are great for touching up embroidery designs, especially of you get pesky bobbin thread that sometimes peeks up on the top a bit.
