The Top 6 Best Tailors Chalks

6. MAGGIFT Sewing Chalk – Best For Thin Markings

I found it impossible to make this list without including the Maggift Sewing Chalk. And once you learn how practical these chalks are, you’ll understand why they’re a sewing accessory that any tailor should be equipped with.

Just like the two above-mentioned products, this one is sold as a 10-piece set.  And if you prefer making yellow, blue, white, and red markings when sewing, then this is the most suitable tailor’s chalk set for you as the chalks come in all of these colors.

What I like about the Maggift’s 10-piece chalk set is that each piece is manufactured from a good-quality wax powder, which reduces its risk of distorting or crumbling no matter how often you use it. Additionally, this wax powder is soft and it doesn’t tend to stick to the fabric that’s applied to, which means you can easily erase any wax powdery markings.

Another thing I like about Maggift’s chalk set is that the chalks come in a triangular shape, which allows you to hold them more firmly and easily while marking. This set also allows you to create precise markings by using each of the chalks’ sharp edges.

And last but not least, one more characteristic that makes these chalks one of the most sought-after tailoring items is that they’re quite thin, which is why they may come in very handy whenever you want to make thin markings.

Before I wrap up this section, I’d like to emphasize that Maggift’s chalk set is packed in a cardboard box, which means you need to be careful how you handle it and where you store it at home. Also, being packed this way makes the chalks prone to breaking when transported.

5. Ogrmar Professional Tailors Chalk – Best For Professionals

Now, it’s time to introduce you to the tailor’s chalk I chose as the best. Considering the fact that I’ve been using this product for many years, I can assure you I didn’t make a mistake by choosing it as the number one tailor’s chalk.

This product provides you with 1o differently-colored chalk pieces, which means you’ll be equipped with this sewing item for quite some time and be able to create colorful markings and patterns.

What I like about Ogrmar’s tailor’s chalks the most is that they’re manufactured from compacted chalk, which allows you to make thin, powdery markings that are easy to wipe off, on any type of fabric.

Another thing I appreciate about this product is that the chalks allow you to mark fabrics easily and accurately since they’re shaped like a triangle, which provides you with three thin, sharp edges. This can benefit any tailor since once one of the edges gets blunt, you can use each of the other two edges.

Just as is the case with Andgoo’s tailor’s chalks, Ogrmar’s tailor’s chalks are a great choice for professional tailors, beginners, and anyone else enjoying working on sewing projects at home.

The only thing I don’t like about this product is that it’s packed in a cardboard box, which means that the chalks aren’t protected from breaking in transit and that they should be stored properly at home.

4. Triangle Tailors Chalk – The Cheapest

Purchasing a package of ten chalks inside is never a bad thing to do, and considering the price that these chalks come at, I couldn’t resist but buy and trying them.

To be honest, I was really fascinated by how these chalks were able to draw on different thick materials, and I have used all the colors they come at, yellow, white, red, and blue.

What amazed me most was the fact that I was able to remove them just by patting them on the piece of fabric that I marked with my hands. By the way, alcohol is also good for wiping up these chalks.

I love to take these chalks with me everywhere I have to work as they come in an airbag package, which doesn’t allow crumbles to happen.

3. Clover Triangle Tailors Chalk – Best in White

Clover is excellent powdered chalk, and it is also one of the most affordable tailor chalks that you will find. I have used this chalk, and it is always around my atelier.

This marking chalk is a white color, and it comes in the form of a triangle, which by the way, is the shape that many tailor chalks come at. When it comes to the writing part, this chalk is great.

However, you should keep in mind that when in use, you shouldn’t press it too hard as it is a little bit tricky when it comes to movement. It happened to me when I first started using it, and let me tell you that it was not a good experience.

When I use this chalk, I always make sure to sharpen it a little bit, and you will notice that there are no crumbles made whenever in use.

2. Madam Sew Chalk – Best Pen Chalk

Just as it has a very fancy name, this chalk is one of the fanciest and the pretties ones that you can find on the market. It is a pen chalk, which is indeed one of the favorite chalks for many people, and I love to use it too.

It made me try this chalk because it is one of the most interesting and greatest-looking chalks out there. Once I bought it, I noticed that looking good is not the only good thing. This chalk is one of the most precise and the most accurate chalks I have ever used.

I am using the white-colored one, but I am glad to tell you that there are also two other colors that you can choose from, which include red and yellow. The Madam chalk will stay on the fabric that you are sewing until you finish the process, and then, I use a brush in order to remove it, but you can also use a dampened cloth.

1. Mr. Pen- Tailors Chalk – Best Overall

Last but not least, here goes the famous Mr. Pen, which brings a package of 8 chalks within. These chalks are the ones I am using right now, and I have them in front of me as I am writing this review. They are indeed the best overall for a reason.

These chalks were always in my atelier and are definitely the ones I love most. With them, I write and make marks on any fabric that I sew, and it works perfectly and accurately, even in silk and satin, which are a bit tricky to put marks on.

Another thing that I love about these chalks is that they include all the colors a tailor may need. You can find white, yellow, blue, and red. Besides that, these chalks are pretty superb when it comes to the holding part, which won’t block your movements.

Something else that I cannot leave unmentioned about these chalks is that they are very easily removable, even if I use my hand to rub on the marks I made.

What to Consider Before Buying a Tailor Chalk? – Buyer’s Guide

Even though not the longest buying guide list, a person who needs a tailor chalk should have in mind some specifications. They are:

Quantity

Before choosing a tailor chalk, you first need to check the package and the number of chalks that come in that package. You will find different packages of chalks, and I prefer you to choose the ones that have more pieces of chalks inside.

Material

The material of the chalk is also a feature that you should definitely consider. This part, one of the materials, is mostly related to the fact that you need to remove it from the fabric after you are done sewing it. Most tailors choose wax-based chalks, so you might want to have that in mind.

Shape and Colors

The shapes and colors of the chalk you choose are basically related to your preferences, and it is not the best thing to be given as a buying guide. As for the shape, tailor chalks mostly come as triangles; meanwhile, when it comes to colors, many of them come in a rainbow coloration. The ones that include more colors within are definitely the greatest ones.
