🧵 Pencils and markers for marking fabric and canvas – disappearing, water-soluble, for precise marking
Marking the canvas or fabric is the first and most important step before starting embroidery. The accuracy of your work depends on the accuracy and quality of the lines. The category "Pencils and markers for marking fabric and canvas" of the "Needlework salon" store presents reliable tools:
🔹 disappearing markers for embroidery,
🔹 water-soluble markers for canvas,
🔹 pencils for marking fabric,
🔹 pens that are washed off with water,
🔹 textile markers for colored and dark fabrics.
✅ Basic rules for marking fabric:
Test the tool on a piece of the same fabric before starting work. This will help make sure that the marker does not leave marks.
Do not use automatic pens or gel pens that are not intended for textiles - they can leave stains.
Avoid ironing over the marking if the marker disappears when exposed to water - heat can fix the paint.
For cross-stitching on canvas, it is recommended to mark only vertically and horizontally in increments of 10 cells.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions: some markers disappear over time, others only after washing.
🎨 Marking on dark and colored fabrics
For black, dark blue or colored canvas, regular markers may not be visible. In this case, we recommend:
Pencils with a white, yellow or silver lead - are well visible on dark fabrics.
Markers for dark fabrics with a contrasting color - disappear with water or after a certain time.
The following solutions are available in our store:
