Chalkboard chalk

I have been wanting to try the chalkboard chalk for marking since I posted about it a bit ago. I had placemats to do so I decided to measure out and mark the grid for the Orange Peel design. I quilted it in and then used a damp facecloth to go over the marks to remove them. It worked very well and I will be using this marking method on my next quilt. I did before and after pictures of the placemat.

...and after wiping with a damp facecloth and letting it dry.

I have been using chalk for a long time. When I'm done I just throw it in the wash. Works great.

after reading the post the other day I have been shopping for some chalkboard chalk. I have can't find at anywhere. I was sure that it would be in the back to school supply, not. so looking in the office supples no luck but I have not gave up yet. I'm thinking of go with sidewalk chalk, and use sandpaper to get the point.

I like to use tailor's chalk. It's got a sharper edge than chalkboard chalk. I got mine at Nancy's notions.

This is what I am using. It was in the Crayola aisle of my Walmart and was about $3? As you can see the make up pencil sharpener works really well for a nice point and there will be enough sticks in this one box to last a loooong time.

Thinking of sharpening it just gives me goose bumps on top of goose bump....oooo the sound of it....oooooo

Did you use a template to mark? I came across this method awhile back. http://www.ohfransson.com/oh_fransso...grid.html#more
