    I use the chalk pen by Bohin from www.patsythompsondesigns.com.
    It comes with white and colored chalk sticks, pen and sharpner. They can be made to a small point and marks great thin lines.

    Yes, this is what I use and really like it. It disappears when you iron it, though.

    I use slivers of soap. Works really well and doesn't rub off too easily. Plus the soap has a nice smell.

    Some of the white pencils work better than others. someone gave me one that is difficult to mark with. I think the lead is too hard. The softer ones mark well but the lead breaks easily and I feel like I'm constantly sharpening them.
