    I always use Frixion pens. Some people have had problems with them, but I never have. Whatever you do - do not use yellow chalk. I used that once and it never did wash out.

    I use thin slivers of soap for dark fabrics and a "General's Sketch & Wash # 588" for light fabrics. I also use a soft brush used to clean white wall tires that has a water/soap well and wash immediately after quilting for an hour or two and wash my marks away. You can get the General's Sketch & Wash online only. Go in with some friends and order a box to save some on shipping.

    i'm also a frixion user for most fabrics. I i have to mark on black/dark color, I use fons & porter white, but it's not as good as the frixion.
