Hi all. Does anyone know where I can find this style of stick chalk? I've tried lots of other options, and this seems to be the only thing capable of marking on leather. This is all I have left of it, but I can't remember where I got it. I've tried that so-called tailor's chalk (the triangle shaped stuff) and it's worthless. Any other ideas for marking on leather?

That really looks like colored Crayola. Are you bringing that to a point with a blade? I have tried that and sanded it down to a point.

Prang Hygieia Chalk is what most people use. It seems to be the best chalk for upholstery. This is the stuff here.

I personally am not a huge fan of chalk. I prefer the white upholstery pencils they sell at most upholstery stores.

@kl4bidn mentioned the other day that she used washable crayola markers on leather. She says they work great.
