Marking your quilts.

i use hb pencils. and sometimes the lines are REALLY dark, gone over a few times.
i have never had a problem washing it out, even on white on whites. i finish up, say a prayer and go to the laudromat. tide in the huge washer and i have been golden every time.
i have a drawer full of marking gadgets i never use. i am also very very suspicious of any ink that "disappears" because chemicals and fabric? never a good combo.

TI use pounce but brush it on with a sponge brush. I also use chalk pencils. I haven't tried the iron off pounce because I bought a bunch of the pounce and use very little with the sponge brushes. I don't like any of the pens - I have heard too many horror stories about not getting it all out or having it come back after being thrown in the dryer.

Clover's Chaco markers are by far, my favorite marking tools. I have them in every color. The ratchet system makes delivery of the chalk smooth and effortlessly. They never leave residue on any fabric. Once you try them, you will never go back to using pencil type markers.

Every quilter has a favorite. What works for one doesn't always work for another. I believe markers have to be tested to find a satisfactory marker. I am also surprised at those who love the disappearing markers - fixon, steam, in air. While the color may disappear, the chemical from the ink or chalk is still in the fabric. I guess if you don't see the mark it is ok yet an invisible chemical is eating up the fabric.
