I tried just about every fabric marker. They are all different in the way they apply, and they are all nice depending on what you want to do. But what I love about these tulip markers is that they are not waxy. It takes only a light pressure to apply them. I can use them as an underlayer in an oil painting for a weirdly wonderful effect. It dries by itself over night without ironing. The tips are about the size of a dime so you get a good size mark out of it, and the colors are gorgeous. I'm a fan. I use both the primary and the pastel colors. Great find. I Recommend This ProductAbout Me: OtherSkill Level: Expert
