It works great! If you can find yellow or colored chalk that sometimes works better for different colored fabrics. No need to get all fancy with it!

I just spotted dustless blackboard chalk at amazon and wonder if that would be the way to go?jenny_liskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00195092748256492943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460060799674083212.post-51606819927401980562009-07-14T15:22:11.281-05:002009-07-14T15:22:11.281-05:00Thanks!

I love all the great ideas on your blog. I taught this same craft class last year, but have eliminated a lot of frustration after reading your tips.<br /><br />About the sewing box, if you have a Dollar Tree near you, I just got the cutest little sewing kits for everyone complete with spools of thread, needles, pins, a ruler, and mini scissors all in a cute case for $1.Explorer Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11298350787853865821noreply@blogger.com
