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

There are a few of us who love the great chalk way. I find it so easy to get out, and as you said, it is so inexpensive! I tried blue once, and as Tartan said it is a monster.

I've been using school chalk forever, as I used when I had a wedding dress business, as it was easy to remove and it never left a mark, when working with wedding and bridesmaid dresses made using very expensive fabrics and also hand embellishments it had to be something that you knew you could remove. A baby toothbrush which is very soft is good for brushing away the marks.
