Clover Hera Marker
#3
The marks are very light and last a short time. I wasn't impressed-- gave mine to a friend who wanted to tryit. I can mark just as well with my needle.
See if a friend or guild member could loan it to you so you can try it and decide what you think.

PS I love hera for lots of things but when I get fabric under machine , I have trouble seeing the marks.

You can also see the darning needle I use. The needle must be hold in a small angle against the fabric and the needle's point creates a thin crease on the fabric. I use this method a lot for my wholecloths on light fabric.
