doodlebug Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 i use a chaco-liner to mark quilts cause it removes to my satisfaction....but i just had a lightbulb moment- i emptied out the chalk that comes in my chaco-liner and replaced it with magic pounce's miracle chalk...it removes my way (a swipe or two with a red velvet lint remover) PLUS it removes with water and/or steam... SWEET!! (sometimes i feel smart...today's one of those days ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neher-in-law5 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Sure is nice when your light bulb shines on us, too!!! Thanks. I like your idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankiequilter Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Thanks for sharing the great idea, Shannon. Love the Chaco-liner, just never liked the chalk. Hmmmm, we could do the same with black light powder, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodlebug Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 i'm not a fan of using water erasable pens if i can get around it. the whole "sprtiz-a-customer-quilt-with-water" scares me....what if a fabric bleeds so when i use water soluble pen (the blue one) and i go to remove the marks- i use a Aquadoodle pen filled with distilled water. i found mine in the toy section in wally world... i can control where the water goes...it's basically an empty felt tipped marker. i squeeze the end to prime the water through the tip...trace along my line, and WHA-LA, blue line gone without soaking the fabric...

njquiltergirl Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Great idea Shannon! Today may have been a light bulb day, I used a q-tip dipped in a cup of cool water to remove blue marks. Worked great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Linda S Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I did that several months ago. I'd always loved the line when piecing blocks with the chacoliner and thought - I wish they made these with Miracle Chalk -- DOH!! Light dawned. Got out the pliers and voila!

Gator Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 What great ideas. I bet if the word gets out someone will do exactly what Doodlebug suggested, but it will probably priced out of this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie Zizza Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 DUHlicious tip Shannon! I'm so done with the blue water soluble marker. Water on a customer quilt makes me have to double up on the Xanax, plus the markers don't seem to last long enough for me to feel they've earned their keep. I've been using school chalk which removes easily but very difficult to keep sharp for a thin line. This tip solves all my problems! Thank you!

LauraJ Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Wow - this is awesome information! I don't use a water-soluble for the very reason - don't want to wet the quilt. Shannon you have a scary wonderful mind! :P:P:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
