Baby powder in a sock as a pouncer works on lighter colors because it is not white, and easier to see because it will not move until you wash it. I have no idea what to use on white since I have never put it in a quilt.

Great idea, thanks for passing this on. I bought the blue chalk and the eraser but it makes a mess. thanks again.

I will stick to white also, thanks for the others that put their two cents in, I appreciate it.

Hreat idea! I'm going to look in my classroom. I used a lot of chalk before we went to white boards instead!

Thanks for the idea about the baby toothbrush. I usually use a terry cloth shop rag, but it always helps to have additional 'tools' to go to.

I use white class chalk too. Used dryer sheets remove it well also. Just rub it out. I have also used Avon powder in the cardboard tube and baby powder with stencils when I've ran out of chalk.

When I was doing the little brown bird quilt, on a navy background - I found the fingernail whitener pencil also worked well, and can be wiped away using a damp cloth.

What a great idea Yel..!! I am going to try the chalk too ! thanks ! :)

what do you suggest using on white fabric?
