Getting taylor's chalk out of fabric

What are good ways of getting taylor's chalk out of fabric?



The chalk is at the hem line (no, not the blow-on chalk), and I was able to get most of it out by brushing and then with a little water and sponging, but there's still some there.



I was thinking of just laundering it, but wasn't sure if the detergent would just make it stick tighter.



The fabric is polyester satin, if that makes a difference. (It says it's machine washable.)


If you have a piece of heavy flannel from a previous project, try wiping it with a few strokes of the flannel. If not, try using a new soft tootbrush.

Is it genuine tailors' chalk? I've never had a problem removing it.
