Fons & Porter 7757 Mechanical Fabric Pencil Set and 10 Lead Refills, White

I am using this to mark tress on red squares of my Christmas scrap quilt. I am quilting on my lap with no hoop. I do one tracing of my stencil at a time so the marks stay vivid and sharp. If my hand brushes the marks too much I have trouble seeing the design so I am careful not to rub too much powder off. The good thing is I know it will come off and I press pretty hard on the pencil and have only broken the lead a few times so it is nice and hard. I like how thin the mark it and the pencil is comfortable in my hands which is important after hand quilting for hours at a stretch. I have tried many marking pencils but this is now my favorite for its ease of use and the fact that I have a visible, thin, crisp mark for my pretty little Christmas trees. Some of the pencil leads from other pencils are too heavy to mark through the thin opening of the stencil..good tool

It’s the perfect white pencil and it’s great for sketching or drawing on dark paper!! It’s got the convenience of a mechanical pencil and can easily be erased. It comes with extra lead. I just wish it also came with an extra eraser as well.

I have a Fons and Porter white mechanical pencil from a LONG time ago and needed refills but wasn't sure what size lead refills, if they had changed sizes. I couldn't find any under that brand name alone. But in my search, I found this new pencil by Dritz AND Fons & Porter, which I've not seen the two brands like this before. I decided if I just got a new one then I'd know what I need when it's time to refill. What I found is that they're interchangeable but I'm glad I got it any way. I was worried the lead would be crumbly but it isn't. It's smooth and the white shows up very clearly. It doesn't chip when I trace around a quilting template. The mechanics are nice and smooth. The lead is the perfect thickness. It isn't too bold or too fine. It's just right. It's a nice, sturdy pencil for quilting and I will buy the refills when needed and would also try the other colors of lead for different shades of fabric.

Great product works great for art believe it or not

This is one of those items you can’t go without once you try it. I have been sewing for many, many years and honestly don’t remember how I got away marking on dark fabrics before. I think I just stuck it out with looking for very faint pencil lines, because I have never liked using those ubiquitous square chalk markers. I really like my markings to be precise, (for bag making in particular) and the thin pencil lead allows me to do just that. I really hope that I will be able to purchase the refills for this pencil once I run out, which from reading some reviews back when I purchased this, seem to not be that readily available. Keeping my fingers crossed, as the lead does wear rather quickly, especially when drawing long lines across fabric like I often do.

Been quilting for over 40 years. I’m a hand quilter so need guidelines for perfect quilting. Use these when dark or light quilt marking pencils don’t show on material. Word of caution-you don’t need to go over and over the same area until you see a good line. Go over lightly one time because the line becomes darker as it dries (doesn’t take but 30 seconds). Practice on a scrap to get the feel of it. Have no problem removing lines with water in spray bottle. If you get the line too dark, you’ll need more water to remove. A great tool for the quilt room!

Got it to mark on black and navy fabrics. It makes a thin, clear mark that is easy to see on the fabric.

This is the BEST white marking pencil on the market! Easy to use and advance a thin white line on any dark fabric and easy to remove with a damp paper towel 🧻. I had my original one for many years until it was dropped and never worked right again. Be sure to purchase extra refills!

Muy bueno para papeles oscuros, fácil de borrar.

Bleistift ist sehr bequem! Es ist Super schnell eingekommen und gut verpackt

Buona scrittura che resiste al passaggio della mano e si cancella con gomma.

Perfect product for my needs ie drawing guide lines on black paper for calligraphy which can then be rubbed out without trace. Five stars !

I bought this to transfer patterns on the dark material that I hand embroider, and I have not been disappointed at all. I use a light table and the pencil goes on easily and makes fine lines which I need. Also seems to be holding up well and not disappearing before I’m finished my work. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
