I just tried something new yesterday. I needed to remove the chalk lines on a wallhanging but I didn't want to wash it and trying to erase the lines would have been labor intensive. I grabbed my small plastic brush for removing corn silk and it worked like a charm. The brush is about 2-1/2"x1-1/2" and has very soft plastic bristles. It isn't as hard on the fabric as the eraser would have been.
