    Unhappy Help!!!! Chalk Marker Mistake

    I just used this 'Clover' Chalk marker on this fabric and stitched it to some batting.
    I just cut test pieces form both fabrics, and it does not look like it will come out.
    What can I do to get the chalk out?
    Mike.

    ​Oh dear, I have not had any luck removing coloured chalk from fabric. You could try contacting the company.

    I have had trouble with the gray chaco marker. It is still kind of visible on the part of my quilt I used it on. I gave up trying to get it out. The quilt is for me and I can live with it, but, lesson learned! Next time try crayola ultra washable markers.

    I have never used the pink chalk, but I have had trouble with the blue pounce so I stay away from it now.

    Since I haven't used that particular marking tool I don't now what will work - but I can say that I have had good luck with the blue dawn dish soap

    maybe you will get some suggestions from others who have dealt with this. Did you try to Google for an answer?

    good luck

    I've had good luck with a fabric eraser to get the Chaco liner marks out.

    I have had good luck washing the quilt with OxyCLean to remove stubborn marks. I haven't tried it on pink chalk. Good luck.

    I have used Dritz Chalk used in a holder similar to a mechanical pencil. This chalk WILL come out (no matter what color) by rubbing it with a microfiber cloth -- I can't speak for the brand the OP used, though. White is a little more difficult to get "stuff" out of than colored cloth.
