I went back to using a paring knife and whittling the ends. Seems to work as well as anything I've tried.
Don't tell my husband - he's like the kitchen knives like I'm about him using my Ginghers.

I just purchased a SewLine mechanical pencil designed for marking fabric. It uses a ceramic "lead" that erases. It's the only way to mark. It marks with a really nice fine line, the first time, and you can get 4 different colors of lead, white, black, green, and red.
