Well I am seeing people liking and using some stuff that others thought useless. Maybe time to sell some stuff?
I have a pounce and FINALLY found the way to use it that works pretty well......try this, mist the fabric "quilt" with a spray of water BEFORE pouncing, it grabs the chalk and holds on "just do a small amount at the time" about as much as you can manage to quilt in one sitting. If you pack up your quilt after doing some quilting it might wear off, but if you have it in a frame it should stay. I heard to spray cheap hair spray on after you pounce, no good.........Try the water mist before you HATE the pounce. It truley works for me, I also bought the special stencils, but the regular ones work also, good luck, let me know if this works for you. Once we learn how to use things properly we tend to love them.
