I use squares of tailor's chalk, which I have in off-white, blue, pink,
and yellow. I use the white if possible. I also use hand basting and
tailor's tacks.

I've just about had it with the standard pencil type marking
instruments at JoAnn's. If you try to sharpen them enough to make a
detailed line, the chalk breaks off. If you try to leave the end wide
and blunt, you can't make anything but the most basic dots.
What do you pros out there use? I have a wheel and marking paper, but
that's really hard on the pattern tissues and I like to re-use them if
possible.
What's your favorite and where do you get it?
