I recently purchased and used the General's pastel chalk pencil in a light gray. I had a horrible time getting the marks out. Finally resorted to rubbing alcohol and that removed them. Do they usually come out for you in the wash??
My favorite is still the water soluble blue on light fabrics. To mark a whole quilt I will have 3 of them at the ready and rotate them regularly. They need a bit of a recharge it seems. For dark fabrics I like the Bohn or Fons and Porter ceramic white lead pencil or white chalk. If I mark as I go I do use these two same items but, I have also used the purple air erase pen. You have to work fast with that. It can fade quicker then you want it to, especially in humid weather.
