I use the Fons & Porter white ceramic pencil & love it. It makes a fine line & I've never had a problem with washing it out.

I've used the pink and yellow. I had a little trouble with the pink, but a little oxy and a 2nd washing and it came out fine. Thinking the next thing I might try is the heat removable pounce, anyone use that?

I use my Sewline all the time with no problems either erasing it or wetting it with a small art brush to remove it. The only times I've heard of problems removing the markings has been with colors other than grey or white and since I don't see any need to use those, I don't. Grey or white works just fine on any color fabric I've ever used. I think they're great!

I've just tried a pink one, and most of the marks had gone before I reached the edge of the quilt, which was rather a mixed blessing!

I used the graphite one on a quilt top and the marks would NOT come out! I must have soaked and washed it a dozen times, using every cleaning chemical known to man and it just would not come out. Never again! I'm much more careful about testing on the exact fabric I'm going to use now.

I do really like the other colors when I need to mark a fine line, and so far, haven't had any problems removing them.

JoAnn's carries the Fons and Porter mechanical pencils and refills.

Sewline marker refill
 
Does anyone have the refill container? Does it tell the size, 5 or 7 many times? It seems as though you could put those in a regular mechanical pencil.
