I'm a hand quilter too and I used almost everything but I have to say I love the Sewline pencil works great.

I love to use a Fons &Porter mechanical pencil, it comes with dark and white lead, so it will mark on any color.

Makes so much sense. Never thought of that. Even have watercolor pencils. Thanks for sharing.

I love the mark b gone pens. They are purple on one end WHICH IS DISAPPERAING INK and blue on the other which is goes away in water. The only thing is I go through the blue like crazy.

I also like the white clover pens for dark fabric.

I have never tried the pounce pads.

I also used washable crayolas for marking. I used the blue. It didn't all come out. But it was on there for 2 years so that may have been an issue. Either way, I won't use blue anymore as I've read on here that blue is a problem.

I have watercolor pencils, too! Thanks for the tip!

There is one thing more I would suggest when trying out a new marking pen: always test it on the fabric you use! Different brands of fabric sometimes react on a different way because of the chemicals they are prepared with. Some pens are very easy to remove on one brand but not not the other.

Gosh, I bet the purple one IS air erasable and not water erasable. That makes more sense. Thanks! It was disappearing before my very eyes.

Someone suggested recently to use talc and put it on with a sponge brush, then spray Aquanet on it. Haven't tried it yet, but it sounds like a great idea.

Thank you for the web site. Sounds like a great pencil. On the site, I didn't see a place to order it. Where can I buy one of these Fabric Pencils?

Does it say not to iron over Sewline pencil lines? Seems like I used it once, ironed, & the lines were permanant. Also make sure you use a water erasable pen & not an air erasable pen. Like said before, the air will erase before you have it quilted.
