I have a clover chalk pen the one with the wheel. I am marking my quilt with it. Some one told me to use hair spray and that will hold the chalk in place until I finish the quilt and then when I wash it, it will come out. Is this what you use when you machine quilt?

I would think that if it works with the pounce it should work with the chalk wheel too. Someone also suggested lightly misting with water before you apply the chalk to help it adhere better and then clean up with water. Or wash it when you are done binding and all.
