Dressmaker’s chalk is ideal for marking fabric. I use chalk triangles when marking soft furnishings and straightening the edge of fabric. A chalk wheel or pencil is perfect for marking finer details, as is a retractable pencil. Marker pens are designed to be used with fabric, but they can be dangerous, in my view. The markings are supposed to be air or water soluble, but once you place a hot iron on top of them, they become permanent! Great care and awareness are needed if you wish to use one.
