Crafters

Use the .01mm tip for outlining and fine detailing

inside block letters.

The .005mm pen tip is great for hash marks, highlights,

stitches, and tiny wording. Be gentle when writing,

since this tip is very delicate and breaks or bends easily.

Fine Tips

The .03mm tip is just right for the zigzag or

appliqué style.

The .05mm tip is great for writing letters and adding

dots. It is also thick enough to use for outlines.

When you want to make a bold statement, use the

.08mm tip. It is just the right thickness for block letters,

borders, and outlining.

1. Before starting a project, wash and dry

your hands to prevent smudging or soiling

your paper.

2. Rest your hand on the work surface for balance

and hold the pen at a right angle to the paper.

3. Press lightly and move smoothly. Avoid holding

the pen in one place too long to prevent

bleeding or unwanted dots.

4. Use a ruler and pencil to lightly draw guidelines

to keep letters straight, then erase with a white

eraser. Make sure you wait a few minutes for the

ink to totally dry.
