I usually use a HB #2 lead for marking and haven't had any issues YET. I have a Hera Marker, it is a hard plastic piece that creates a line on your fabric(almost like a crease), and they are great. I use it when marking darker fabrics because I haven't found anything else that works. However you can only do straight lines with it, but. there is no residue issues.
