My daughter used a gold glitter pen from a craft store. There was also silver and other colors. We found them by the tye dye and fabric paints.. You could also probably find a light colored "pen" in the scrapbooking area. Not sure about washing though for the latter.

Embroider over your name? You could write it with a light colored pencil or one of those white pens, but I think embroidery is a good way to make it permanent! Kathy B.

I always sign and date my quilts on the front, as well as putting a label on the back. My latest quilt has black fabric where I will be signing. What should I use? Never had to sign on black before! Need suggestions - anyone?
