Is the powder in your blue dispenser actually blue? It totally looks white in the pics which is why I assumed you used the Ultimate in your practice piece. My blue pounce is blue, Really blue like robins egg blue, which is why I dilute it. I am wondering if they may have shipped you something different. When I ordered mine, the chalk powder was not already in the pouncer. It came in a plastic bag and I had to load my pouncer (which I don't use the full bag in the pouncer). The regular stuff rubs off really easily which is why I am wondering. In fact, when I use it on my longarm, it can bounce right off the surface of the quilt without treating it some way. But I also use traditional stencils, not the special ones that are made by full line stencil company made specifically for pounce pads.
Here is a pic of a quilt while it is on the rack. The circling cranes is a stencil I marked using a half and half of blue and white regular pounce and you can still clearly see the bright blue in the quilting.
