Pounce
I am considering buying a pounce pad. Is there any negative feedback out there about this product? If so, I would like to know before buying it....Thanks.

If I was going to get a pounce, I would want the new one with the iron off feature.

I use mine all the time, the iron off is the way to go if you are doing borders or larger areas. The older chalk would bounce off or smear quickly.

i have the older chaulk that wipes off with a wet cloth or washes out. my pounce has a sort of terry cloth cover that i'm not fond of. i used it on a vine and leaf stencil that had points that the pounce pad got caught on. so i had to "pounce" the pad and that worked. they of course day to wipe it across your stencil. but then i didn't buy stencils that would have worked better. continous line stencils. But yes, i like it. so give it a try or ask more at quilt stores, etc.

I spent ALOT of $$$ on mine.... gave it away because I mainly wanted to use mine with batiks.... it is worse than USELESS for batiks in my estimation

I tried using the iron off pounce with a sponge brush (instead of the eraser/pad method). I prefer the iron off friction pens. So if you buy the pad, let me know and I'll send you some powder.

I just used a pounce pad for the first time and I wasn't that thrilled. I brushed off when I wanted it to and it worked fine, but I prefer precise lines when I quilt, and a pounce pad provides somewhat blurred lines when using it with a stencil. It did brush off when I wanted it to, though, and it didn't brush off before that, so I wouldn't say it's a bad product, just that it's not my preference.

One word of caution do not try to iron off the blue pounce chalk... it does leave a stain. I find it somewhat problematic. I like to quilt on flat surfaces .. and do alot of white or natural color backgound quilts.. so the blue chalk is best.. but I can't ever iron once the chalk is applied. oh.. and if you are using the blue .. you have to wash the quilt once you are done.

I've had no luck whatsoever with it.

Dust it makes.
