That's why I usually use a historical substitute-
SOAP!
You use those small slivers too tiny to wash with.
As long as your fabric is washable and you don't
try and use one of those soaps with too much added
moisturizers, it works just dandy.

remind everyone to be sure and test their marking materials on a scrap of the
chosen fabric when they start a new project.. even those that are "supposed"
to come out! Gaelen The address above is a spamtrap. I'm at

Unless it's a wax-based chalk, in which case those
techniques will only set the marks and make them
permanent.

is to rub the fabric with a scrap of the SAME fabric. It hasn't failed
me yet (as I knock on wood). Jennifer

Sorry, I don't normally nit pick spelling errors but... I confess that
has got to be the weirdest way of removal I've *ever* seen :-)

There are a couple of types of tailor's chalk-- one feels waxy, and
disappears in drycleaning or if hit with an iron (it may leave a greasy
spot however) and the other is chalky. The white chalky stuff is the
easiest to brush off... I use a soft toothbrush.
There is also a disappearing tailor's chalk that air erases in 4-5 days
Clotilde sells single pieces (http://www.clotilde.com, or try any of the
tailor supply stores for a box of it. (Clotilde calls it "clo-chalk").
You might also want to try the various washout or disappearing markers,
but always, always test on a scrap before using. That includes washing
and ironing the scrap.

chalk and not wax. I also use soap scraps. I seem to have an abundant
supply!

and never seem to be able to see the marks I made.
Does this only work on certain colors?

With repeated washing and stain treatment the chalk has come out. It was a
bright yellow chalk on a light colored cotton fabric. Next time I shall most
definitely do a test with the fabric when I choose to use chalk or other
fabric marker .
I have enjoyed reading this news group for quite awhile and was pleasantly
surprised with all the responses to my post. Again I say thank you for all
your help

That wouldn't happen to be the type used on a blackboard would it?
I tried that ONCE.
My favorite marker is "Facination Dress Marking Pencil." It's a
salmon colored pencil. For those endless tailor tack needs
on button placement, darts, etc. Just sharpen pencil dampen tip
(your tongue will do) gently press tip onto the black dot, the tissue
melts away and you can then spin the pencil in place for the mark.
Then I pass a pin straight through the spot and put a dab on there.

Most soaps are light in color, so this works best
on darker or strongly-colored fabrics, though you
can use it on lighter fabrics| - it's just a
little harder to see.
My most common use is marking grommet placement
for Elizabethan bodices, so they're mostly deep
colored fabrics.

No the Chalk was not blackboard chalk. I got it a while back so I can't
remember what it was called, but it was tailors chalk. It came in 4 colors,
white, blue, salmon and yellow. I usually used it on the wrong side of the
fabric to mark darts and other construction marks. This was the first time
I used it for button holes.
I have the pencils. I never could get them to work very well. So your
suppose to dampen them to get them to work? I will have to try that. Maybe
I will be able to get them to work better.
