Another factor could be different treatments ... starch, best press, sizing etc. vs. not.
A hint for removing chalk ... I use a lint brush and whisk it away. I'd be hesitant in using water as a first go-to, for fear of setting any colour into the quilt. I would think that JanRN's suggestion from the company would be "in case of emergency" and not as the first thing to do.
It's a reminder to all ... test test test and test again ... and don't put full trust in someone telling you what happens for them. There can be differences from one to the other that can make the difference to success and failure, all too easily!
