Re: marking on dark fabric

I would use the White Marking Pen with fine point made by Clover. I use
this for all my dark fabrics. You probably know this, but it takes a few
minutes for the white to show up on your fabric. I thought there was
something wrong with my pen the first time I used it, and didn't see my
marks.
