Is there a pen or pencil for transfer that will work to transfer on dark/black material? This one does not. :(

Not that I have found yet. And I have tried a lot of them. My mom makes doll clothes and they often need appliques or something on them so I have gone to making a transfer of sorts with an iron on paper and then once I have that done I paint the embellishments she needs with fabric paint. It would be so much easier if we could just find a white transfer pen or pencil that actually works.

Planning to do iron on transfer for embroidery on dark pillowcases. If my stitches don't completely cover, is there a way to get the ink out?

It should come out when you wash them. I do a lot on white and it always comes out after a wash or two.

Would the yellow work to transfer to jeans?

I use white to transfer to jeans. Have tried the yellow

which color will work better on a black t-shirt?

white or cream . Yellow works too.

Pen use

I got this as it is not offered with a collection of the other colors and sometimes for working transfers for iron for my liquid embroidery I need a color that will show on darker fabric. The sulky transfer pens work great for my use. I do wish they had some in a fine point. I have not found any with a fine point to work for much finer detail but these pens are much better than the pencils in part due to color variation and the fact that they show up much better. I have not had trouble with them running so far.

Horrible!! Don't waste your money

Horrible!! Don't waste your money! I followed all instructions exactly. First, it leaked. I wiped it off tried again and it leaked again. So then I tried ironing the leaky mess on my test fabric. Nothing just soaked into the paper. Huge disappointment. I'm just happy I didn't buy the whole set! It really doesn't even deserve 1 star but I had to put a star rating!

So cool!

This is an amazing and fun tool! It lets you transfer things you might not have been able to print out or if you just want to doodle a random image! I use mine all the time!
