This chalk can be used on a wide variety of fabrics including cotton, linen, and blends. Always test on a scrap first.

How do I remove the chalk marks?

What are the dimensions of the chalk holder?

What should I do if the chalk breaks?

If the chalk breaks, you can continue to use the remaining pieces. Ensure that you have sharpened the chalk before use, and handle with care to avoid breakage.

Troubleshooting

Chalk lines are too thick or uneven.

Use the integrated sharpener to create a finer point on the chalk, and apply lighter pressure when marking.

Chalk lines are difficult to see.

Ensure the chalk is white and the fabric is a contrasting color. If needed, apply a slightly heavier pressure.

Chalk is breaking easily.

Avoid dropping the chalk. Store the chalk in a protective container when not in use.
