Our read
Written from the manufacturer's listing, the published specs and public owner feedback. We research and analyse — we don't lab-test, and we don't claim to have stitched with this ourselves. Reviewed by the SewingPath team · Hilly Shore Labs · updated October 8, 2026.
Tracing an embroidery design or marking quilting and hem lines that must come out. Dritz says the blue tip wipes away with a damp cloth and the purple tip fades in air or with water.
Skip it if your fabric is dry-clean only, which Dritz says the pen is not recommended for, or if the work will sit for days, since the purple ink fades on its own. Test any marker on a scrap first.
