Well, I guess I'll go "back to the drawing board"! I'm getting ready to quilt one of the small borders on a child's quilt and had tried a piece of blue tailor's chalk I've had for years on the stencil on a scrap of white fabric and since the piece is narrow, it seemed easy to do. Have it marked but not practiced with it yet so will be sure to try to get it off. The border is yellow so it would sure show up if it didn't come out. I only have 2 small pieces left so not much to try diff. markers on but I guess enough.
