Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
I LOVE my pounce pad! I use only the white powder that will iron away as the blue and pink should not be ironed at all. It is so easy to use. I fill the pad with the white powder (by the way, I would stay away from using talcum or baby powder as it is gummy), tap the pad on my hand a time or two, then run it across the stencil. It leaves a clear white mark that I can easily follow for quilting. I use it mainly on borders and mark only one or two sides at a time. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the pouncing system!
