Hi to all, I was on here a couple of days ago and I think this is where I saw some info on some markers you can use for your embroidery machine. They will (fill in the gaps) what the machine didn't quite do on your embroidery work. They are awesome and can be ordered from somewhere for around 40.00. Does anyone have any info on these? I really would appreciate some feedback on them. Thanks so much! One of the best gifts to give a child/grandchild is your listening ear.

| I have used them and really like them. They have saved me a few times. I can not remember the website I bought them from, sorry. But I know I saw them in a catalog and I think it was Cotildes. |

| Hi! I just went to Heart to Hand online store :www.hearttohandonline.com, and saw "Fabricmate dye pens" there. Maybe this is what you were thinking of. I was perusing this website, and hit on a link, which led to the Heart to Hand website. I've never been there before; it was a fluke. Once there, I hit on a link towards the bottom of the page regarding a "mystery quilt clue" and that led me to a page where the dye pens were advertised. Maybe this will help; hope so! |

| I use the Fabrico Pens also...but on some of the other boards they say you can use the permanent sharpies. Heard they work great and are cheaper. I just bought some to try. |

hi, Have you tried the permannet sharpies yet? I would reallly like to know if they work! Yes, they are cheaper to buy. My machine has been doing a great job and I have not had to do this since I posted this! Isn't that the way it always is? HA! Thanks Ladies! Dorene

| No, I have not had the need to use them...Murphy's law! I pickup colors that I do not have in my basic Fabrico set. I tried to find the site I saw the thread in...my being having a senoir moment...again! LOL I will keep trying. |

I use the ultra fine point sharpie pens, only because I didn't know there was anything else out there. They work fine, but so far I've only found 12 colors. And they can be found at your local W..-...T store. |
