Now I can lay a pattern right on my quilt and using the laser pen to follow the pattern, I can quilt without having to mark or pounce my quilt.

I too would love to see how it was done and where to get your light.[/quote]

I just got one, but have not used it yet. Will be in the next couple of weeks. You can also purchase a Neon chalk for the darker fabrics. I bought it because I like the idea you iron it on and it comes off when washed.

I have been researching this for a couple of days. from what I found out the Magic brand is not chalky and less messy. I comes in blue and white powder refills. They recommend an applicator for each color. I think I am going to try one. Do a Google. lots of places sell them and the refills and prices vary. I checked so many places that I forgot who had the best price.

Please discribe what this product looks like and where you get it. I ask at Joanns at the cutting table and no one knew what I was talking about. Thank You

You don't pound it. I like it as you can mark as you go and don't have to do the entire quilt.

you don't want to use the blue alone! It does not come out of the quilt & can stain. Take a tiny amount of the blue and work it into the white...you just want a hint of color that will show on white surfaces.
