Marking on dark fabric
#11
I use the little chalk marker here - http://www.generations-quilt-patterns.com/chalk-pencils.html - I didn't get it from them, but that's the one. It has a little wheel in it, and puts down a very thin line of loose chalk.

I bought this white marking pencil, but haven't tried it yet. They demo'd it at the quilt show and it ironed off:

I vote for the Bohin leads as well. I bought their mechanical pencil as all mine at home were too small. The markings stay on quite well but rub off relatively easily. Most wouls probably be gone by the time you are finished quilting but if not should wash off easily after the owner has bound and washed.

I love the Bohin white chalk mechanical pencil. It goes on in a very fine line. There is an eraser which will take it off but more than likely it will be worn off by the time you're finished. I only mark a section of machine quilting as moving the fabric around will eventually rub the markings off. I haven't tried the Fons and Porter ones but given the comments here that will be on my list to try especially for the dark markings. I am satisfied with the Bohin chalk for marking on dark though.
