    I saw that Eleanor Burns dampens the surface and uses baby powder. :-)

    This is my recommendation for dark fabrics.

    I use soap that is used down to about 1/2 in thick .. makes a finer line that way and washes out well ~ :D

    I use Fons and Porter's white pen marker and it works well.It leaves a very thin line.

    Make sure the soap isn't the moisturizing kind or it can leave a grease mark. I like a soapstone marker.
