Having trouble marking on a slinky, slippery, dark-colored knit? While working on my Little Black Dress last week, I tried both of my fabric pens, wax chalk, soap slivers, and nothing worked. Every time I tried to mark, the fabric would wiggle away from me. What worked?
Plain ole chalk. I tested a mark on a scrap and found I could easily brush it away when done. For a precise line, use the edge of end of the chalk. Thank goodness I didn't have much marking to do, because my fabric was very temperamental! Try chalk next time you're dealing with one of those pesky knits!
