i haven't ever used the pantograph on my longarm, and i forget it's even there. but that's a great idea. this might be the time to practice. thanks for that reminder.

I just learned a tip from one of the embroidery sites. When trying to remove the blue pen marks...if it doesn't come out...try a drop of fresh lemon juice. They said it works wonderfully.

Did you get the marks out?
I marked with blue chalk a wallhanging just last night. I didn't like how the design looked so I took a toothbrush to wipe it off - like I do with the white chalk. Oh NO! It just seemed to spread and blur and make it worse! Tried wiping off with a damp cloth. This is on an off white background. A friend recommened OxyClean so I will give that a try.

jbud, is the chaulk fabric chaulk? If so, why not have used just the plain ol white fabric eraser? Just curious...SKeat

I tried the eraser after the toothbrush. I did the oxyclean stuff. The line is barely shwoing but I know it is there. I guess I will be picking stitches.

Yes it is fabric chalk real fine in a tube that has an attachment that has fine toothed wheel that the chalk comes rollling out on.

At this point, I'm not sure if this is helpful or not, but I use Dustless Chalk from the teacher's store for marking.
It always comes out.

I have Roxanne's Quilters Choice marking pencils that I bought at an LQS in So Cal. They have worked really well, and they come in white and silver in a plastic storage tube.
