My sulky white ink transfer pen is in the garbage! I carefully followed
directions to get the ink flowing and the little ball on the tip just won't

move <sigh> Also, I think the ink might be all dried up. Naturally, I think
there's a design flaw in the pen, not the fact that it's been in a drawer for
more than a year and probably on the shop's shelf for even longer.
Can anyone recommend products that'll allow me to trace/transfer/whatever
designs on to dark fabric?

A silver gel pen works great. I have found they don't run or bleed
into fabrics.

I'm sure someone will come up with a newer, better idea, but I always used
dressmakers carbon paper. It comes off easily. I suppose you can still
get it either in a fabric store, or a quilt shop.

Yes you can, but be careful. There is a new one which proudly says "no
wax", but what they don't tell you is it comes off as a powder which
spreads all over your work. I can use it for marking toiles, but not
for real fabric.
There are quite a number of different marking pencils on the market
these days, just investigate the Notions Wall at JoAnn's.

Don't forget to look in the Quilting department -- there are a *lot*
of marking pens/pencils over there.
