PLEASE HELP with Sharpies!!

[tavah316]

For tiles, should I get the fine point sharpies or the ultra fine? I need to get them today - help!!

90% of my sharpies are the fine point, I do have a few in the ultra fine in the most popular colors for when I do extremely detailed work.

I also use fabrico markers, I like these much better especially when I want a softer look. Sometimes the sharpies are just too bold and they also have a tendency to remove some of the image that you stamped with the Stazon Ink. I find that this is not a problem with the Fabrico markers. They also do not pool as much as the sharpies. They also have a greater range of colors.

Would I give up my sharpies, no. I use them both. Sharpies are better on tumbled tiles but you can't beat the Fabrico markers on the high gloss tiles.

I hope this has helped you a bit.

Can anyone suggest where to get Fabrico markers? I've looked everywhere in town but can't find them. I guess I could surf and try to order them. But I want them NOW!

Personally, I prefer the Ultra-fine tip Sharpies. I have found you can color nearly everything with them (maybe not extremely large spaces, but SU doesn't have many stamps with those). I also like to use them to write with on the inside of cards....the fine point are too large to use this way.
It's nice to have a few of the larger tip markers, but you will probably find yourself using the ultra fine tips more often.

Walmart has both. I got the ultra fine last week at less than a dollar per marker.

Well, I know you can get Fabrico markers through Stampin Up but I did a quick search and I'm not sure if you can get them at Wal-Mart or someplace like that. Do you have a fabric store? Just an idea.

If you have an AC Moore Craft Store near you the Fabrico markers can be purchased there. I work at one & we have a ton of colors both in permanent & erasable. I am able to do the most detailed images with them & like I said before they are so much softer in color than the Sharpies
Thanks

I found Fabrico markers at my local stamp store. I have not seen them anywhere else.
