Howdy!
Put your label fabric on a piece of sandpaper,
then use the Micron Pigma Pen; works for me every time. ;-)
If the inks you're using for practice are not specifically
permanent-for-fabric, they will likely wash out.
Ironing non-permanent ink doesn'talways/usually make it waterproof,
unless you don't want it to stay, then it will. g

I bought the Micron 005 pens to do my first quilt label. It's so fine
that
I'm not able to write very well on the fabric. What am I doing wrong?

Also I tried different practice inks on fabrics, ironed them in and later
washed them to see which ones would wash out and they all did!. Again,
what
am I doing wrong.

Thnx for your help.
