I know Alan H loves his chalkboard chalk but I've never found it satisfactory. Won't hold an edge, and gives me the shivers when I try to use it! Tailor's chalk is not too expensive, just the plain stuff that comes in a plastic carrier with little V-shaped metal edge to sharpen it against. For a little more money, I found a good marking tool in with the quilting notions -- a rolling wheel that lays down a really thin line of powdered chalk. Just trying to figure out how to turn that box of chalkboard chalk into fine enough powder to substitute for the refills LOL
