Wow, six of one half a dozen of the other. Not sure if I want to try one or stick to a #3 pencil which are hard to find. #2 pencils are what is sold in most stores and is a softer lead which does smear much easier.
We were alsways required in grade school to use a #3 and that what my Grams' ladies quilting group used to mark their quilts. Think I will stick to that.
Thanks for all teh tips though, I will keep them in mind.
