Marking a quilt top
What is the best thing to use to mark a black or dark blue quilt top (other than chalk) that will not disappearing before fmqing?

I save and shave down soap bars when they get too small to use in the shower. Or I use those little bars of soap from hotels.

On dark fabric I do use crayola white chalk and I mark a quilt quarter at a time. It depends on what you want to quilt also. You can use the Golden Threads paper that you quilt through and tear off or if it is a large motif, you can cut a template from freezer paper and iron it to the quilt surface to quilt around.

I use Taylor’s chalk. It has a nice sharp edge, makes clear smooth thin lines.

This is my go-to marking pencil for coloured fabrics - it irons off and I've never had a problem getting it to come off.

wow, white pen that is air erasable. hmmm. but 10 to 30 seconds, would make me a fast quilter. I may try this yet. black is difficult to see marks on.

Bar soap. It's safe and will wash out.

I like Roxanne's pencils: white for dark fabrics, silver on white fabrics. I also use the chalk marker with the tiny wheel when the mark doesn't have to stay on long, because it makes such a fine line.
