I use this pen to mark my quilting points for longarm quilting. The pen is easy to use and to see. The tip produces a very small mark, which has helped increase my accuracy. I only use the blue end so far, because I need the markings to stay put until I'm done with them. I've had no trouble getting rid of the markings.

Instead of measuring the hem on some sheers for a really tall window and having to get up and down on a ladder to see if the hem was straight I just drew a line with the purple side of the pen (erases with air after a few hours) along the part of the window trim I wanted it to be lined up with, pressed it with a hot iron along the purple line and finished hemming it, a perfectly straight hem bottom with less hassle than I've ever had. And this was with sheers, one of the slipperiest materials to work with. I had tried it by measuring before I found this pen and every time the slinky material would slip and getting the line straight was impossible. So I thought perhaps there was a disappearing ink out there that would allow me to draw the line along an existing line on the frame and then I could just iron a crease along that line. This is it. Sheers are worth it once they're done, but they come with crooked bottoms and usually have to be re-hemmed to fit anyway. A totally awful job but this pen really helps a huge amount. Your drawn line doesn't even have to be perfect, just as continuously as possible following a straight line. Once you have a straight bottom it's easy to adjust the rest to make a good hem. The next hassle is the sewing and all I can tell you is that you want a long stitch (3-4) length, go slow and gently guide the material but hold it loosely and let your machine do the work. My pen got here with a small crack in the side and the ink was semi-dry. I pulled the top tight and put tape around it, pulled the ink cartridge out (that had come apart, too) ran it under water and put it back into the pen which was now tight, and overnight it rehydrated and was great. Hope you have better luck than me. It was a weird fluke because the plastic cover was still in tact- can't see it ever being a problem.

This disappearing ink pen for fabric really does work. I used it to draw designs on my quilt squares so that I could hand quilt everything the same. The purple color goes on dark and begins to fade pretty quickly. It does help to only work in small sections at a time because it'll be gone within about thirty minutes. The downside though, is after the pen is older, though not dried up, the ink doesn't disappear anymore.

Had never used a disappearing fabric pen before, and this was a game changer. Works well.

I needed to draw on fabric, then sew over my lines. I tried the “air dry” side on felt, fleece and cotton. They all disappeared within a day or so. The water dissolving pen tip works well too, but I used it on white fabric and when I wiped it off it smeared a blue smear which I had to rub to get off. So it depends on your fabric if you want to use that side of the pen. I don’t think I’ll be using that side, but the air dry side is awesome.

Los trazos quedan super bien pintados, se quitan solo poniendo agua, la parte que dice aire solo aplica con algunos tipos de tela pero con agua se quita siempre, muy buenos.

I've tried many different erasable fabric markers and this is my fave. The purple evaporates rather quickly, which I like, but the blue remains bright until it's removed with water, which is great for hand embroidery. I can't live without this marker.

Es perfecto! El morado se desvanece en pocas horas, y el azul hasta que se limpia o lava... Ninguno ha dejado residuos

Does exactly what it’s meant to do. The purple side is air dissolvable but lasts more than a day so if you trace out a project, you have some time to come back to it before it disappears. The blue side is water dissolvable, however, the ink on this side goes dry a lot faster than the purple.
