I've been using a washable marker pen for now but need to figure something else out for marking lines that are on the seam line (like when you need to mark a square to make a snowball block) and could potentially be visable in the finished quilt block.

If you are marking the diagonal line to make HST, you can use anything you want because that line will never be seen! I just use a regular pencil or pen that goes on smoothly. No need to use your special (and sometimes pricey!) marking pens!!!!
