There was a thread on here recently re: yellow for marking pens/pencils. I don't remember what brand, but there was a problem getting the yellow markings off the quilt.

I like Sewline pens, but uually use white 'cause most of my quilts are bright. Sorry I can't advise on what color for white/light colored fabrics.

I just bought a set of 3 at a quilt show on Saturday. I'm looking forward to using them. Seems a bit magical to see the lines disappear under heat.

I have changed to sew line, too. The points are always sharp.

I used to love t he Bohn but it is now too hard for me to put in and take out the marker portion.
