I never had any luck with the chalk pencils but I use regular chalk and sharpen it with a little pencil sharpener. I like yellow and green. I stay away from red. I have not had any problems with then washing out and it will stay in until I am completed with project.

I use stencils and pounce/chalk pen. When I use the chalk I try to quilt it right away and wash it. Seems like if you leave the chalk on too long it is harder to get out.

I use a Sewline (like a mechanical pencil) from my LQS. It uses 9mm lead which can be purchased in different colors. I've never had any problems.

Children's Crayola washable markers work well...wash out easily...and come in lots of colors to show on any fabric

Does anyone use a soap-based pencil?

Wow I like that idea. I have lots of stencil books and this sounds like it would work. I tried the lightbox but the blue pen always drags. Thanks for a tip for me to try. Plus I bet you can do this after you pinned your quilt.
