For marking on dark fabric i use a Japanese chalk wheel, which is fantastic - 
draws a very fine line and brushes off easily - or very soft school kid's chalk 
in bright colors - makes a slightly thicker line and also brushes off easily.

I have not yet found the "perfect" tool for marking on white and other very 
light fabric. I sometimes use soft school kid's chalk in a somewhat darker 
color (i tend to use a medium blue), but i worry about it staining the fabric. 
I also sometimes use a very soft graphite pencil when i am certain the lines 
will be hidden by the stitching.
