Dritz Fons and Porter Mechanical Fabric Pencil and Refills, White, 11 Count (Pack of 1)

After quite a bit of searching for an instrument to line up dark paper for calligraphy, I found this. It is just what is needed - lovely clear thin line that rubs off easily when no longer needed. I just need to remember to use a guard sheet so that I don't accidentally rub off the line before I've finished with them. Excellent, easy to use and perfect for purpose, if quite expensive.

The leads in this pencil are strong, but softer than the Bohin ones, which in my experience take a fair bit of scrubbing to get a mark. You can draw fairly lightly with this and get a clear, fine line - just perfect for quilting on medium or dark fabrics.Like all mechanical pencils, the mechanism is fiddly (they aren't usually my cup of tea at all); and I haven't yet found out how well this washes out. I also wish these pencils were better packaged, so that the little box of fragile refill leads could be more easily stored safely along with the pencil.But there's no doubt at all that the quality of the lead merits five stars, and earns this pencil poll position in my box of marker tools.

Great item, quick delivery

Best pencil for fine work at reasonable price

prompt delivery, fine on dark fabrics

Great product all round. Works well and is easily removed plus lots of replacement leads so will last years!

Item was recommended by colleagues. Happy with purchase

Fantastic fabric marker and quick delivery too. Thank you

I’ve been using this type of marker for a number of years. It works very well. Had trouble finding replacement leads, it was cheaper to buy a whole new marking pencil than buy replacement lead.

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. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Muy bueno para papeles oscuros, fácil de borrar.

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

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