Full details
This PREMIER STATIONERY fabric marker is designed for anyone needing to make permanent, waterproof marks on textiles, offering a simple solution for customization and labeling. While it excels on most fabric surfaces, its primary caveat is that it requires heat application for the iron-on tape to adhere effectively.

FAQs
Can I use this marker on dark fabrics?
The marker ink is black. While it can be seen on dark fabrics, the contrast might be less pronounced compared to lighter materials. For high visibility on dark fabrics, consider using the white iron-on tape as a base or for lettering.
How long is the iron-on tape?
The product includes 2 meters of white iron-on tape.
What is the best way to clean items marked with this fabric marker?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. For best results, allow 24 hours after marking before the first wash. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents directly on the marked area.
Can I iron directly over the marker ink?
It is recommended to avoid ironing directly over the marker ink to prevent potential smudging or damage. It is best to iron on the reverse side of the fabric or place a protective cloth over the marked area.
What type of fabrics does the marker work best on?
The marker writes on most fabric surfaces, including cotton, polyester blends, linen, and canvas. It performs best on smooth to moderately textured fabrics.
Does the iron-on tape require a special setting on my iron?
Use a medium-high heat setting (typically cotton setting) on your iron. Avoid using steam. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area of the fabric first to ensure compatibility.
Troubleshooting
Marker not writing smoothly
Ensure the fabric is clean and dry. Shake the marker well and press the tip firmly onto the fabric to reactivate the ink flow.
Ink smudging after application
Allow the ink to dry completely before touching or washing. If smudging persists, the fabric may be too absorbent or have a coating that interferes with ink adhesion.
Iron-on tape not adhering
Increase the iron temperature (if fabric allows), increase ironing time, and ensure firm pressure is applied. Make sure the fabric is smooth and free of debris where the tape is placed.
Marker ink fades significantly after washing
While the marker is waterproof, some fading may occur over many washes on certain fabrics. Pre-wash the fabric before marking, as fabric finishes can sometimes interfere with permanence.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the fabric surface is clean and dry before marking. For the iron-on tape, cut to the desired length and place it onto the fabric where intended. Apply a hot iron (check fabric care instructions for temperature) over the tape for a specified time, usually 10-20 seconds, pressing firmly. Allow to cool completely before testing adhesion.
Compatibility: The marker is designed for most fabric types, including cotton, polyester blends, and canvas. It is best suited for smooth to moderately textured surfaces. The iron-on tape adheres best to flat fabric areas.
Care: For items marked with the fabric marker, follow standard laundry instructions for the fabric. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the marked area. For items with iron-on tape, treat them as you would other ironed-on applications, generally allowing 24 hours before the first wash and using a gentle cycle.
