I have never had problems with white chalks coming out but I have had problems with yellows and blues.
Oh, thank you for that tip on their mechanical. I'll have to try. Yes, I have had problems with those quilting pencils before not coming the blues and yellows. I think regular pencil lines once got smudged I couldn't even see where they had been!
