I quilt with a longarm. The hairspray will not gum up the needle and this works. I have also sprayed with a fine mist of water and it also gets the chalk to stay on long enough to quilt the design. Your other option is to use the Ultimate powder which stays put until you remove it with a steam iron.
I love my pounce pad when I need to use a stencil. It is fast and easy.
