I just purchased a "pounce pad" off of ebay for marking my quilts. Wasn't excactly cheap and I paid about $5 more for the steam off chalk rather than the brush/wash off chalk. I have had such an awful time marking my quilts with the chalk pencil and I had great hopes for this pounce pad. Now I have read that people have had some bad experiences with these pouncers. Some say the marking will not stay on long enough to finish while machine quilting and others say they have a hard time removing the chalk from light color fabrics. Mine came with the white chalk but I was thinking about also buying the blue powder to mark on lighter color fabrics. What are your experiences with these pounce pads? Love them or leave them? Thanks
