I have tried several techniques for marking my fabric... some better than others. I do like the Clover Pen Style Chaco Liner... my question is.... have any of you guys tried using the pounce chalk powder to refill this pen? I have pounce chalk but I think it could be messy to try, but if it works I will try. Any ideas?

I have! I am too cheap to buy the refils so I pried the top off (which took some doing, I had to use plyers to work it off) and I carefully put pounce chalk in. It works great. I used a little funnel to put it in once and another time I used a piece of wax paper folded and worked it in. The funnel worked better, you just need one small enough to fit inside the tube.

Thank you for your reply! Its nice to know that I am not the only tightwad. Good tip to use wax paper as a funnel... I will have to see what size funnels I have

I use the pounce chalk in my chaco liner it is a little messy when I first tried it then you get inventive I started using a tweezer holding the refill and putting it in the chalk now I see I will try the wax paper tip I like using the pounce in the chaco liner more then I like using the pounce itself I try and save $$$ to

Is that the one with a screw on cap and the little wheel at the tip? I used talc in mine when I run out and all my LQS had were blue refills. I know better than to trust any coloured marking tools.

Does the top of your not unscrew? You can buy the refills for them and for me a couple of bucks once or twice a year is well worth the hassle! Tartan, have you not used Crayola Washables for color markers? They are marvelous!!
