Thanks, everyone. I guess I'll buy a few rolls of different tape and try them all. I have tried and don't like to use pins to hold the tape down. I find it distorts the line and I want it as straight as I can get it.

Will try those Crayola markers, though!

I bought a bunch of markers and white marking pens along with a roll of Frog tape. That Frog tape works exactly how I want it to work - sticks on different colors and types of fabrics (batik, "calico," etc.). I love it. Thanks to whoever suggested it! I'm throwing away my Scotch blue.

painter's tape for quilting
Go to a painting selling store first off. If you can afford it ( I don't know your budget) but they the best brand they sell for professional painters. Manufactures make the tape in different grades. I have used this tape on my quilts, and at a guild free motion class. What's also nice is you can find it in different widths, so you can have various patterns. Hope this helps.
