Hello, I am looking for a cross stitch pen set that I saw on TV several years ago. I have problems with gripping needles but pens I could do. It's like liquid stitching or coloring in the patterns. If anyone could tell me the name or brand I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance. -- Theresa Kinney from Virginia

- They call them markers. you will get them from any drugstore or printing shop. Good luck. -- Esther from RI from -- Dec 23
- I know what she's talking about and no they are not markers! It's been at least 15 years since I've seen them advertised in stitching mags but for the life of me I can't remember what they are called! I can literally see the ad in my head but can't recall the product name, I'm really sorry! -- Ellen from USA -- Dec 25
- I think I found something you would like/could use. Go to Art Cove.com and look for Aunt Marthas Ballpoint Liquid Embroidery Paints. I read the info and they are *similar* to pens with a fine tip. They aren't inexpensive, about $3 a tube but you can buy sets of various colors. They also sell Aunt Martha's transfers (anyone else remember these?)! Anyway, I hope this is helpful. I did a 'net search for "liquid embroidery pens" if that is helpful to you. Please let us know if you find something you like (smile). -- Ellen from USAq -- Dec 26
- Theresa, did you find anything you like? -- Ellen from USA -- Jan 03
- I was going to suggest Aunt Martha's too. They are still available at Walmart, Ebay, Amazon and Etsy. -- Linda from Ashburn VA -- Jan 26
- So Theresa, did you find anything? An update would be nice! -- Ellen from USA -- Jan 28

About Copyrights:
Copyright patterns may not be copied and given to someone else. It's against the law and it's dishonest. On the Internet, one copy can quickly turn into one million which basically takes away the need for people to buy the patterns, which puts the designers out of business.
