    Can anyone recommend fabric markers?

    I'd like to make a quick & easy Riddler and I figured fabric paint markers might be the way to go.
    Anyone here use them?
    Can anyone recommend a brand?

    Thanks!

    I've never had good luck with them. Joann's sells iron on ???? marks.

        Are they all Different Sizes ? That sounds very cool.

        The Pigma Micron 05 } 0.45mm line width
        The #1 Archival ink (lol) works out real well,.. you gotta be quick with you lines,.. & sometimes you have to go over repeatedly. I liked the resuilts I got better than anything Else I'd had ever used.

          ^^^ Nahh, just the standard iron on letter size, but they sell the letters individually now. The ? mark is probably a bit over one inch tall.

            I had the same thought. I made a cardboard cut out of the body just a little bigger to get the fabric to stretch. Printed a BIG "?" on the computer and cut a stensil from it. Spray mounted it to the stretched bodysuit and gave it several passes with an airbrush. I used "TULIP SLICK FABRIC PAINT."
            If you dont want to go airbrush on the project. I would suggest using the fabric paint strait (No thinning with water) and dabbing thin coats with a sponge to build up to the full coloring you want. Hope this helps

              If you have an inkjet printer, you can probably make your own iron-on question mark and get it to the size you want.
