Oh my goodness but this is beautiful!!!!!Every aspect of it is beautiful! Tears for the yellow chalk marks (which I'm not seeing in the pics.) I sometimes feel like it stays in the threads rather than the fabric. No matter where it is, doesn't exactly help, though. Sometimes I try to brush it away with a piece of batting soon after I've sewn the area. It won't help you now but I just bought some iron away chalk that I'm going to put in one of my chaco liners. Of course it's only available in white so it won't always work. Sure hope you can get that chalk out. what if you tried calling the manufacturer for help? Is there a chance that one of those Mr. Clean magic erasers would work? Test on something else first. They are pretty amazing.

I know that my machine isn't the top of the line,its a BAILEYS HOME QUILTER 15 PRO WITH A SR ON A HINTERBERG STRETCH FRAME. Theres alot of bad mouthing out there about this machine, but it serves me well. I'd say that its a great quilter for a beginner that doesn't want to refinance a house to get one. I've had my machine for about 14 months. As with any machine there's a learning curve.

That is the MOST beautiful quilt I have ever seen! The piecing is awesome; the quilting is awesome! I sure hope you work out the chalk problem.
