Frequently asked questions
What is tailor's chalk used for?
Dressmaking chalk is a popular sewers item and is important when making alterations or clothes making. The chalk comes in an easy to use triangle which enables you to hold the chalk whilst using a sharp edge of the triangle for drawing. This tailor's chalk is easy to brush/clean off, so you do not have to worry about your fabrics being permanently marked if mistakes are made.
How is tailor's chalk different from regular chalk?
This tailor's chalk is created in a triangle shape which ensures it is easy to hold and keep sharp. Fabric chalk can be wiped off of the fabric after use, meaning it is safer to use than pencils or pens in the case of drawing mistakes.
How do you keep tailor's chalk sharp?
You can use a peeler for keeping your chalk in good condition. As the blade of the peeler is angled it creates a sloping edge which gives a fine and sharp line along the side of the chalk. We recommend storing your fabric chalk in a box when not being used to protect it from damage.
