    I have found pencil doesn't always wash out. Sigh, it wasn't a happy time.

    I use the new Crayola product of fine tip washable markers. They come in the 8 major colors. I used them on my quilts and they have washed out fine. Remember that you shouldn't iron over any marking because that sets the ink! I use cool water even thought the box said warm to hot.

    I use the Fons & Porter mechanical pencil. It comes with dark and white lead. It works well, and washes out
