I have a pen made by Dritz that I have used for years. I have never had a problem with fading. It is small, black and says Permanent Fabric Marking Pen in gold letters.

If you don't do something, you can just bet you will get back at least one square that someone has written to the edge.

Thank you...I never thought of that....brilliant!
