I have the Sewline pencil with the white lead and I always find that I have to press hard enough to make a mark and that tends to be too much pressure and the fabric stretches a bit.
Somewhere (not sure if it was Bonnie's post or the blog that had the strip method) I saw someone using a thin white gel pen. That would be great for using on black and other dark colors. I use the frixon pens but none of the colors work well on super dark fabrics.
