They're little pads filled with powder. You dab them over top of a quilting stencil and when you remove the stencil, the design remains. Eleanor Burns did a segment once on quilting and when she covered these, she said you could make your own with cornstarch and a few layers of cheesecloth. I was planning on making one soon. I haven't tried it yet but from everythign I've read, they should work nicely on everything except white fabrics.
