Default White Marking fine line pencil?

Is there a fine white line marking pencil that will go inside the lines of stencils?
I have chacoliners but they will not go through the line openings. I also have
color markers but, wondered if there is something out there that is white.
Thanks,
Elaine

I use the Roxanne's chalk pencils. I also use a Fons and Porter mechanical pencil with white lead.

Yes

http://www.amazon.com/Porter-Mechani.../dp/B001UAKL4Y

OR

http://www.amazon.com/Sewline-Fabric...ceramic+pencil

Edited to add, I have found that both of these products do rub out fairly easily so you are best to mark as you go, unless you quilt on a rack.

The Roxanne water soluble white marking pencil recommended by the above poster, stays better but it dulls quickly so you will need to keep a pencil sharpener handy.

Sewline has one of those mechanical pencils. Make sure to use the white.
Not sure how the other colours come off or not. You have to test first.

I use the Bohin brand mechanical pencil with white lead. Fits in my stencil slots/grooves just peachy. I do tend to mark as I go, thoughas it will brush off but not overly easily to me.

I like soap. It's cheap, easily accessible, you can cut sharp slivers off if you need a point, and it washes out easily.

I have the Clover white powdered chalk that are the thin ones and have no problem with them. Not sure if Clover might have redesigned what I have. I know there have been posts here using regular Crayola white chalk (for blackboards).

Fons and Porter make a mechanical pencil that comes with a thin white marking lead. I have it and it works great.

I have tried this product and have to say that it does NOTHING for me on dark fabrics. If you use
the slightest pressure, the lead breaks, and if you go lightly it does not mark. I am very disappointed
with this product.

I like the Bohin mechanical pencil. The nice thing about those types is that you can exchange the lead for different colors depending on the fabric that needs to be marked.
