I use a white or pink water soluble pencil, can be removed when you wash the finished work or just spritz with water and a light wipe with a small piece of batting. I find the chalk markers of all kinds don't stay on with all the handling my quilts get during construction.

i have used very thin leftover bars of soap to put an X on the wrong side....so i would consistently use the same side when making a project. lasts longer than chaulk. could put a small square of masking tape on the back.

I have used regular chalkboard chalk sharpened/ soap slivers/I accidently even went into my husbands stash of welding soap and that works well to. And if you are using a stencil just put some corn starch in a pouncer or a muslin bag and pat it lightly over the stencil.
