Oh no...I don't know how to get it out, but I feel for you and hope you find the answer. You'd think Fons & Porter would be able to let you know...after all... :roll:

if you have some more of the fabric, make some "test' patches with the chalk on it and see what works, how the fabric is affected by different cleaners and what cleaner takes the chalk out. Be sure to mark the patches so you know which one's which. That way, you don't experiment on the quilt itself. I would try Formula 409 first. I've used that on fabrics with grease spots and it's never bothered the fabric.

Thank you to all for the suggestions.
I have made notes and will be trying things today. Will let you all know the results. thanks again, Joy |

I have some flat yellow tailors chalk that I am scared to use because it seems waxy. |
Try using a clean eraser from a pencil...or a fabric eraser...:)

I just use plain white school chalk. I sharpen it in a hand sharpner. When my kids were little I figured out the color stuff stained :D

[I am a longarm quilter and designer. the only chalk I use on my quilt tops are General's chalk pencils - white and gray. I also use the air-eraseable pens that you can get at walmat - they disappear in the air.

you need to keep all three marking tools on hand (white & gray chalk, purple air eraseable pen) - use multiple time when needed. If you have a quilt that is that busy - a pantograph is usually the best bet.
