Grandma's Spot Remover may take it out. It took out lots of mystery stains in my kids clothes and grease off my jacket. Work it in with a small brush or washcloth, rinse and repeat if necessary. Use cold water and don't put it in a hot dryer until you're sure the marks are out. I got mine at Walmart in the former fabric section, but I'm pretty sure craft stores and LQS may carry it.

I had the same problem with the gray chalk. I'm going to try the Shout in the aerosol bottle (which someone told me works better) next time I wash it.

I have only used the peach color and the blue but I have been careful to use a lighthand with the blue and it was on a blue toned fabric just in case. The white is ok. I used the white to mark the navy blue border on my quilt and those marks came out with no problem.

I did read on another board that sometimes the sizing chemicals in the different fabrics affects how the chalk gets into the fabric. As I said, I have used the yellow before with no problems so maybe there is something to that theory.

I would definitely try washing it and then letting it air dry. You may be lucky and have it come out in the first wash. If the marks don't completely come out completely then try working with some of the stain remedies that others have suggested.

Ohhhhhh earlier this morning I posted about my blue "wash-out" chalk that I'd applied using a Pounce. It didn't wash out. I haven't put it in the dryer and will try the dish detergent/baking soda/vinegar and/or the Grandma's Spot Remover suggestions. I have sent an email to the manufacturer for hints.

I'd appreciate hearing what worked! Thanks

Yesterday I heard back from the manufacturer, who suggested I try dabbing the chalked areas with a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. While doing this it wasn't apparent it was working (I think the blue might have seeped into the batting), but when the quilt dried the blue lines were gone. Yay!!!!!

Thanks! I'll give that a try.
