Best Sewing Marking & Tracing Tools of 2025

"I needed to embroider freehand onto black fabric and found this set of erasable white fabric pens on Amazon. I was initially skeptical, but they worked perfectly! The ink was very visible throughout my work, and after ironing, it disappeared immediately. I highly recommend this product!"

"I've been using these erasable marking pens for my quilting projects. Just remember, the marks vanish once you iron the fabric. They truly are my go-to markers!"

"These heat erasable pens are a lifesaver for sewing, especially quilting. I can't imagine how I got by without them, although I do find them a bit expensive."

"I can't believe I had never tried one of these before. It’s amazing! I love the variety of colors and how easy it is to sharpen. The fine point is excellent, and I appreciate that it doesn’t leave clunky lines. Occasionally, the chalk gets stuck inside, but I can easily fix that by pulling the yellow end. I will definitely order more!"

"This is the best chalk marker I have ever used. Changing colors is simple, and I love the finer point compared to others. It actually works well, leaving marks exactly where needed. It also makes a fantastic gift!"

"I really enjoy using these chalk markers. They are easy to use, and changing cartridges is not a hassle at all. They perform well for detailed work, especially on dark fabrics."

"I’m very happy with this product! The Truck works super well, and I absolutely love the refillable pens. I would definitely recommend it for anyone working with clothes or sewing. The chalk is a bit fragile, but what chalk isn’t? I primarily use it with fabric, and it goes on so smoothly yet is easily removable."

"I’ve really enjoyed the versatility of the different items in this set. They work well and are easily erased once my project is finished. The presentation was also impressive when I received it!"

"I’ve decided to invest in the tailor chalk, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quick delivery. The chalk colors are vibrant and clearly show on my materials. The presentation in the box is lovely, with everything nicely organized. I doubt I’ll be disappointed with this purchase."

"I purchased these pens for my quilting projects and found that they work wonderfully! The set came with plenty of ink refills, so I don't have to worry about running out anytime soon. The marks erase beautifully with an iron, without leaving any residue."

"This was my first time using these fabric pens, and after trying them on various projects, I can say that they work great on thin materials. However, I found that they struggle with thicker fabrics and satin. It's important to follow the instructions as the ink may take a moment to become visible."

"I've been using these pens regularly for marking fabric before sewing, and I love how the marks disappear instantly with just a light touch of the iron. Even though there are some concerns about the white pens, overall, I think they are good quality and reliable."

"I've tried many fabric markers, and this one has become my favorite. The wheel gets stuck sometimes, but turning it upside down quickly fixes that. It's great for marking different materials, and I plan to buy a colored one for white fabric!"

"Initially, I was skeptical, but this tool has changed my sewing game! It marks beautifully on dark fabrics, and I appreciate that it doesn't stain like some other markers I've used. I'd love to see it in more colors for lighter fabrics."

"I needed to mark rectangles on black fleece, and the chalk lines were crisp and easy to see. This marker has been really helpful for my projects, although I do wish it didn't dispense so much powder."

"I've tried various marking tools, and this is by far the best fabric tracing tool I've used. The erasable pens didn't transfer well, and other chalk options were too light or stained my fabric. Despite being fragile, they give clear markings and are easy to use."

"I appreciate the selection of colors in this set. The pieces remind me of large guitar picks, but they're a bit brittle. I remember sturdier options from my childhood, but overall, it’s a good value."

"These chalks are perfect for my sewing projects. They wash out easily, but I've learned to be cautious as they break easily if dropped. I make sure to place them securely after use!"

"This tool is great for tracing sewing patterns. It's easy to use and the quality is excellent. I highly recommend it!"

"I found this Dritz tracing wheel to be well-made. I've seen others use it for years without issues, so I decided to get it again for its reliability. While there are sturdier options available, I appreciate the basics that do the job."

"Using this tracing wheel has made a huge difference in my sewing. I can now easily mark where I need to fold, which saves me time and helps me create a better product. I'm really pleased with this purchase!"

"I bought this for my embroidery projects. It’s a great tool for marking the centering of any project. The variety in colors is excellent, and it comes in a handy box for storage. I highly recommend this set!"

"I am absolutely thrilled with this product! The ink in the markers is fresh and flows beautifully, unlike some I've used before. The pencils have the perfect texture for fabric marking. I’m so glad I chose this set after canceling another order. Delivery was quick too!"

"This set is fantastic for beginners! I got it for my students, but I found the pens fade quickly while marking patterns. However, the pencils and chalk are great. The chalk is smooth and easy to grip, showing up well on fabric without fading too fast."

“I just discovered these from a friend and love using them for paper piecing. The quick delivery was a nice bonus!”

“I've tried these on cotton fabric too, and they work perfectly.”

“Honestly, these don't perform as well as the free ones that come with sewing kits.”

“These tracing wheels have been a game changer for my sewing hobby! They function just as expected and are so much easier than flipping patterns around. I appreciate how both wheels spin nicely and are simple to tighten or loosen for resistance.”
