When working with drywall or planks, if I want to mark a long straight line I will use a carpenter's chalk line, which is basically a string covered with powdered chalk that you can snap and it will leave a line. Has anyone tried this before on a quilt top? Do the chalk lines come out in the wash, do they leave excess chalk powder?
My hubby is a drywall contractor and has used the chalk like you are talking about. The blue and red DO NOT come out of his clothes. It is a grand idea tho.
