I find most times the mark wears away once I quilt it. But it just washes out with regular detergent in the washer. I have never had a problem with it washing out! When I first started marking I marked more heavily and sometimes it would take two washings but it always washes out.

Some quilters tell me they use a regular demitasse spoon. I have also heard that some tape a quarter to their thumb. I say what ever works go for it. I just don't like poking my own finger over and over. Thanks for stopping in and leaving a comment.

They are the updated version of the old rubber tips.

I find it faster also. The nice thing is you never have sore fingers so could quilt as long as you like.
