It is a special quilt for ME ( and the hubby!)

Question: I used Chaco powder (blue) to make the lines to follow for the hand quilting. What's the easiest way to get Chaco out? I think you can see it in the pictures.

I had the same issue recently. I use chaco all the time and like the blue and red. I made little stockings for my GSons for their money I am giving them. I use the chaco to mark for the quilting on the back, and it doesn't come out. I don't want to wash them, so I guess I will just live with it. I tried rubbing it off with a damp cloth, no luck. I just hope they don't notice.

How can I remove the Chaco Liner from the fabric?

We recommend pre-washing the fabric before using the Chaco Liner. We also highly recommend to test the Chaco liner on a piece of fabric before marking. Try to remove the Chaco Liner by washing the fabric with 5 parts water, 2 parts vinegar, and air dry. Do not put in the dryer. If the problem persists, please consult a professional fabric cleaner. Try professional oil-based stain removing. Some solvent is sprayed on stains from front side, and fabric is vacuumed from the back side. Professional service is really required because this may damage fabric if not done with the right tools. Also, just dry-cleaning makes the marks permanent.

Thanks for the question and the answer. I also used yellow and couldn't brush it out or wash it out completely. Love the ease of this tool but don't plan on taking a chance again.
