I have to press so hard to leave a mark that the fabric moves under the template I'm tracing around. What would be better? I'm clueless.
Thanks,

Rodney, try putting fine sandpaper under your fabric when tracing to eliminate the shifting. I am also a big fan of the Fons and Porter mechanical pens with the different leads. Have not tried the frixion pens.

I use a soap sliver to mark on dark fabric. It's the best to show up. I save the hotel small bars and whittle the corners to a point.
