I am making a memorial quilt for my niece-in-law who lost her son in Afghanistan in 2010. I need to know if any of you know of a pen that will show up on black fabric. I need to write something on the silhouette that I am putting on the quilt and don't know what I can use. PLEASE HELP!!

Have you looked for a fabric pen in silver ? Also at Joanns they have sets of Pigma pens they are suppose to stay on after you write then heat set it .

I purchased a Sharpie Metallic today in Silver... it says it is a permanent marker... I haven't tested it yet, but thought I would suggest it in case you might like to try it.

Sharpie pens are not permanent on fabric. I used one to draw eyes and whiskers on a applique quilt. When I washed it the marking smudged and faded. Make sure you use a permanent fabric pen. Michaels and AC Moore carries them.

I was going to say at michaels they have fabric pens for dark fabric. I've used the silver , gold and bronze.

Terry, do you want me to embroider on it (if you haven't already put it together that is)?

silver sharpie works well

What about as white paint stick that's used for t-shirt design and such?

I would love that, but think the space is just too small. It is the crossbar on a cross and is approximately 3 3/8" x 1". I was thinking you could just make me a strip that size and I could applique it onto the cross, but think it's just too small.

use a white gelly roll pen. I've used this for years to write on dark fabrics without a problem. It is pigment and permanent.
