Do you think that in time the fine particles of chalk would damage the machine. The reason that I ask is that when I first started quilting I used regular chalk to draw lines and sew on them and not long after that I started having quite a few problems with my machine - to the point that I had to buy a new one. So I have my reservations about using the pounce pads. Maybe it had nothing to do with the problems but I will always have my doubts.
Has anyone else had similar problems or thoughts. I would be very interested to hear. Thanks
I have the same concern. I don't want to ruin
any machines, but I've just gotten a new machine that I want to devote strictly to quilting; earlier today, I was practicing FMQ through chalk markings and I was thinking that can't be good for the machine. I dislike the idea of drawing all the individual lines in the stencils, but I may choose to do that anyway.
