I prefer a shalk pencil or a water soluable marker. I NEVER use pencil. It is too hard to get off.

Someone else posted in the past that they use a bar of soap. Imagine it's chiseled pretty well to get a point or a sharp side.

I had a piece that I marked with pencil, and it didn't wash out.

I use either white soap or Dial (gold). The Dial will show up faintly on white fabric.
After we have used a bar of soap and it is getting pretty little, I use it at the sink and use it every time I wash my hands. Doesn't take long for it to have a nice edge. I have several little bars in my sewing cabinet drawer. |
Invest in a mechanical chalk pencil. Less than $12 and worth every penny! I marked the entire border of a quilt without a single breakage! Another plus, I had very little remarking to do after much handling! They come in several colors. I have the white and green and have used them on many different colors.

I would use something made for marking fabric---special markers or a chalk pencil. I almost ruined a quilt I was working on because I used a regular pencil.
