siggy blocks

Today, I worked on my siggy blocks for the siggy block swap on Flickr.  I got 64 blocks done, they are yet unsigned though (still going to practice, and maybe find a different pen to write with).

Does anybody have any suggestions for pen/technique for the signature?  I have Micron Pigma pens size 005, but I can't seem to get a nice solid signature with them.  I tried a fine sharpie, and it was a little better, but not by much.  I think I need to stabilize the fabric somehow......maybe iron on some freezer paper?  Or painters tape on the back?  Something that can be easily removed probably.....

    I use a sandpaper board to stabilize while I write. Very fine sandpaper will hold the fabric well.

    Love the Pez! I work on mine some last night - I got about 12 done total, but most cut out. I'll look forward to hearing about signature techniques! I'm going to try the sandpaper suggestion.

    I would agree with using fine sand paper. It does work to hold the fabric. I've used it several times when I have written a label for the back of my quilts.

    I like a bigger line, as in .5 and sorry this is so after the fact. I love your blog! Barbie, originally from WA and now in NC
