Thanks to all for suggestions. I bought a couple of items mentioned from my LQS. I bought some from Amazon. I will test each one on my white and on my thread. Y'all were a goldmine of info.

Do you plan to wash the quilt when finished. That will somewhat determin what marker you can use.

Whatever you decide to use, test on scraps first to see if the marks come out/off.
Avoid ball point pen - someone used that - it was a very bad idea. Many people also say to avoid using yellow, blue, or pink pencil/chalk type markers One can get pale gray General Chalk Pencils - I've had good luck with the white ones rubbing off other fabrics. I've used a lead/graphite pencil - very lightly so you can barely see the marks. I made heavy/dark lines ones once on a quilt top - thinking that the lines would rub off or be easily erased - Not!!! Some people have had good luck using the Crayola washable markers. I have bought some, but not used them yet. |
I've had problems with light green chalk. Frixon has worked for me on most fabric but I did have a bit of a problem with white. Test your fabric with what you have before the quilt is marked. Good luck. I'll be checking back for what you decide to do.

I love LEONIS 5 Air Erasable Marking Pens Pink
. get them on Amazon. They disappear on their own, or if you want to speed up the process, you can spritz with a little water. |
