Good luck and take your time. If your border is dark, I always like to use the Clover white chalk liner. The white chalk comes off easily but stay away from the BLUE !! It does NOT come over EVER !!!
I also use the Clover chalk markers & the white removes very easily BUT the YELLOW is not so forgiving. I just finished a Breast Cancer Ribbon quilt, which I am donating for a charity golf tournament & had to use the yellow to mark a design & it does not come off. Thank goodness I only used it on a 3 blocks but have tried everything & it is so stubborn. My quilt is now in the wash & hopefully that will help. I used some Dawn dish soap on it & I'm hoping things will improve. Also have the blue but have not used it yet & probably won't now that I have had so much trouble with the yellow. The White is a piece of cake to remove. Sooooooooooo frustrating.
