Sharpies are permanent so I am assuming you are looking for a way to make labels so that the marks are permanent. Sharpies can also fade away over time. I prefer Micron Pigma pens. They are archival and permanent as long as you heat set them with an iron. If I really want to make sure my label never fades I embroider it, by hand as I don't have an embroidery machine.

Edited to add, I believe the previous poster who wrote about frixion pens, misunderstood your post thinking you were looking for a tool that left a REMOVABLE mark for marking out your quilting designs prior to quilting them.
