It is wonderful that you are doing all these “practice” pieces. This one looks great.
I did not know about the hairspray trick to hold the chalk on. That is always a problem with it bouncing off when using a longarm. I will be trying that and be able to use the chalk more often than I do......but I would NEVER have pressed my piece while it still had the chalk on it!!! Oh my!! Thank you for posting this. Now I know I can do this also if I need to! I am curious though if your chalk (pounce) is the iron off kind or is it the kind that you just brush off?
