Yes, you can use carbon papers and graphite papers for marking on fabric. People use this method all the time for drawing designs over a piece of fabric before carrying out the embroidery work. However, this pattern won’t be permanent. It will come off easily if you wash it with water and soap. Also, to get clean and sharp traces without any smudges, you should use graphite transfer paper instead of regular carbon paper or even carbonless paper. You can choose light or dark graphite paper depending on how dark you want the marking to be on the fabric.
