markers

Take a scrap of your fabric and go get some Crayola washable markers -- I like the "doodling". Mark over both black and white sections of the fabric. Press the markings well with an iron. Decide which, if any, you can see. Note the color and location of the lines that may be satisfactory (I baste along the ones I like with thread of roughly the same color). Machine wash and dry; examine carefully to see if the marker came out completely. Press again one more time, and examine one more time. That should tell you if any will work for you.




FWIW, I've never had a problem with any of the crayola markers coming out of cotton prints, but there's always a first time.



Or you can quilt over the design traced on wash away or tearaway embroidery stabilizer or Glad Press and Seal:
