Description
A marking pen draws fine lines on fabric that can be removed again later. The size comes to 150 mm × 10 mm × 10 mm. Sold as a single item. The finish is Turquoise.
For alterations to finished clothes a line on the fabric shows where to shorten and where to let out. Before the first stroke, test on a hidden spot: every fabric takes markings differently. Light cloth calls for a dark marking, dark cloth for a light one — which is why most sewing boxes hold two colours side by side. Prym has made sewing notions in Stolberg for generations.
What Prym marking pen in Turquoise is suitable for
- Transferring patterns onto fabric
- Drawing quilting lines and grids
- Alterations to finished clothing
Frequently asked questions
What works on dark fabrics?
A light marking — white chalk or a pen with a pale lead. On dark cloth any dark line disappears as soon as the fabric folds.
May I iron over a marking?
Better not while it is still needed: heat can fix some lines and erase others at once. Sew first, press afterwards is the safe order.
How should pens be stored?
Lying flat, capped and out of the sun. Pens left open dry out, and a dried tip draws streaks instead of lines. A pen that no longer draws can sometimes be revived on paper.
How fine should the line be?
As fine as possible: a broad line leaves open where exactly to sew. Darts and notches deserve the fine tip, cutting lines manage with the broad one.
