Which pen for signing?

It's been what? three days? and our son-in-law is still sitting with his Hug. He takes breaks for trivia like work and bathing but will just hardly put his quilt down. I'm told the dear man has admired 'and' read and re-read his blocks many times. It's nearly impossible for me to hold this to 50,000 words or less but if you are not on the Hug list, do join. Take part when you can. If you can't, we understand. We missed several while we were busy surviving. I do remember that recently Leslie had a thread going about the high anxiety of signing a hug block. I just don't remember if there was a conclusion about which pen did the best job. Shall I go conduct my own test or has somebody here already found a winner? I'm wondering which ones don't bleed, smear, smudge, drag or annoy. Please interrupt this program with a commercial of your very own. If you know of a great one and announce it to us, perhaps the manufacturer will send you a FQ. It could happen. Polly

I use Jelly Roll Pens and Pigma pens-- and permanent laundry markers when I can get them in a fine point. I figger the laundry markers are made specifically for writing on fabric and going thru the wash safely. I don't know about how successful my labels may be- the quilts I keep go on MY beds and don't need labels. Those quilts wear out long before they could fade out! Since I don't wash the quilts I make for hanging, those labels are safe. The quilts I give away are labeled, but I haven't heard one way or the other how the labels do. I don't think the give-away'd (??? LOL) quilts get washed much as all those sillies think the quilts are for saving and not using. How on earth do you convinve folks to USE the quilts they receive??? I've even offered to replace the quilts with another one if they'll promise to love it to death within a few years!

Not much help here,

I guess I just need some practice. Perhaps I spent too many years using a can of spray paint and writing our names on interstate highway supports and water towers. Yes. That could be the problem. Polly

Awww, Diana. And I thought I was the only quilter in the group who was just a fool for John Deere green.
