Problems with transfer pencil; has anyone used one?

I decided to take a big jump and make a tree skirt with embroidered/appliqued designs. I bought a transfer pencil and was told at the time I bought it that I could outline the design, then use my iron to "transfer" it onto fabric. Well, I did this and it didn't work. Obviously I'm doing something wrong. I'm tracing the design onto tracing paper with the transfer pencil, then turning the paper over and ironing it with a hot iron onto muslin. Got any ideas? Has anyone out there worked with one of these, and if so, how did you get it to transfer?

Thanks for the replies.

Never had a problem with them. What color is the pencil/fabric? You may not be seeing it if both are white. I always used the red pencil except on dark colors. Is the iron hot enough?
