Thanks - whoever it was who shared this idea
I don't remember who it was, but someone on this board showed how they mark quilts with school chalk. They used an eye makeup sharpener to get a point. I finally got around to trying this.. and it is awesome! I do break the tip that I sharpen on a lot, but as cheap as the chalk is that is no big deal. Now I just have to find the best and cheapest school chalk to buy
