In your opinion
#41
I will be interested in the answers -- I haven't found anything that really works well. I tried the disappearing pens and they disappear too fast here near the water. And Olympia WA is too damp also. I don't wash my quilts after I finish hand quilting. -- so the washables don't work either.

The blue water erasable pens and white Clover fine marking pen that is also water soluble. Just recently purchased a couple of the Frixion pens also.
Had a problem with yellow chalk marker dying my white thread when I used it, so no more chalk for this girl.

I use the fine lead mechanical pencil on light fabrics...on darker fabrics I use my old chalk wheel...the one with the tiny serrated teeth. I have them in blue, yellow, pink and white. I've had them for over 20 years (they were very cheap way back when) and for once I had the foresight to buy extra powder refills.
