Description
This marker leaves a fine line that stays visible while sewing and disappears afterwards. Made in the size 11 cm. Sold as a single item. The material is plastic, metal, chalk powder.
Light cloth calls for a dark marking, dark cloth for a light one — which is why most sewing boxes hold two colours side by side. Quilters draw lines and grids first and simply follow them with the machine. What has been marked should be sewn before long; if the cut pieces lie around for weeks, some lines fade by themselves. The pack states the size, so buying more later stays easy. Anyone sewing regularly likes to keep such notions in duplicate.
What Prym tailor's chalk marker in Mint is suitable for
- Transferring patterns onto fabric
- Positioning pockets and buttons
- Working with dark and light fabrics
Frequently asked questions
Which fabrics does it suit?
Most wovens and knits. On very absorbent or coated goods every marking behaves differently, so a test on a scrap stays the safest route. On velvet and towelling it is better to mark on the reverse.
What works on dark fabrics?
A light marking — white chalk or a pen with a pale lead. On dark cloth any dark line disappears as soon as the fabric folds.
May I iron over a marking?
Better not while it is still needed: heat can fix some lines and erase others at once. Sew first, press afterwards is the safe order.
How should pens be stored?
Lying flat, capped and out of the sun. Pens left open dry out, and a dried tip draws streaks instead of lines. A pen that no longer draws can sometimes be revived on paper.
