I use the old fashioned way, soap slivers, if I am marking my lines. Just mark a few at a time.

[QUOTE=Buckeye Rose;5563968]I have used the frixxion pen in black for quite a few quilted items with no issues on light colored fabrics. But need to find a similar pen that marks in white for dark fabrics.... does anyone know if the frixxion pens comes in white?[/QUOTE

That is a most excellent question.....anyone know that answer ?????

Clover makes a fine line white pen. The marks take a few seconds to develop but once they do, they don't rub off. They can be removed by ironing or washing, and they do not return again. I use this to mark dark fabrics all the time and never had a problem with them.

I haven't quilted anything yet but I have used soap slivers and crayons before and they worked. I have never tried tailors chalk, would it work? Or is that the chalk everyine is refering to?

you can use a pounce pad just rub it on your stencil and Iron away the marks

stillclock.
.......giving myself the vague idea of where to go just looks like i had a vague idea of where i was going...

.Are we talking about life itself? HAHA Love it!!

I also use the pens and love, love them. They have ironed out on all of my fabric.

I use chalk which comes in a container shaped like a marker, and which has a tiny wheel at the marking end. The wheel rolls as you move the "pen", and the chalk makes a fine line, which brushes off easily. I think this also comes in a holder which is triangular shaped. I think tailor's chalk would work just fine, but I don't have any.

I also use the chalk called the "Ultimate Pounce Powder", in the pounce made for it. I use white and blacklight powder (which is white and looks fluorescent green under a blacklight) in the pounce with stencils. It also comes in blue, which I quit using once I had trouble getting the blue marks out. That's when I switched to using blacklight powder instead of blue for light colored fabrics.

Just wash it and the Frixon pen will wash off.
