try using one of the blue line ones that disappear with a spray of water(although I recommend you dunk the whole quilt once completely finished and block--no need to use detergent though). The air disappearing purple pen works about the same way but disappears with air--which may not be helpful if too much time between marking and quilting. I also like the F & P ceramic chalk pen, and will use loose chalk made for marking with a stencil and a foam paint brush (poncing gets it all over and I sneeze--which isn't good when you are quilting!)--but it will brush off easily so you can mark the whole thing beforehand.
I haven't used them but bought some Ultra Washable Crayola markers as others have said they are great.
