In reference to using a disappearing marker--on a site I can't remember
the name of--quilters were finding holes years--5-10--later where they
had marked with a disappearing marker.

Subject: [h-cost] Chalking a line

For my current project I need to couch a silk cord in a geometric
pattern on to silk fabric. Most of the lines will be at a straight 45
degree angle. I will be doing this by hand as well.
My idea to mark the placement of these lines involves a chalk line
snapped against the silk that can then be marked with a disapearing
marker so they last until I get to that section of the 7 inch by 5
yards piece. I can use a cork board with a grid marked and pins to
get the lines at the proper angle. What I'm wondering is about
chalking the string. Would rubbing a piece of chalk against the
string between "snaps" be enough to have enough chalk to transfer?
Anyone done anything like this on fabric?

So much to do and so little attention span to get it done with?
