Yes but was not my favorite, like the little chalk red pen like marker, can get a pretty fine line.

After seeing a demonstration somewhere on the Internet last year, I bought a bounce (white). Sadly, like too many of my quilting toys, I've never used it - actually forgot about it til now. Getting ready to quilt a baby quilt, perhaps I'll give pounce a try.

You may laugh, but I have successfully used kids wash out markers by Crayola to mark quilts. Washes out with no trouble. I do test my fabric first. They have a little heavier line than the blue/purple markers so easier to see

The true Pounce comes in white instructions to be removed with iron. I love using pounce with hand quilting I always follow the instructions when finished I iron it off and then the quilt can be washed. I contacted the manufacture when they first came on the market.

Colors have different information. I would not use on my quilt.

Fairly recently, I saw E. Burns using one (or possibly two different ones) on her t.v. show and I was not at all impressed by the markings. I use the little chalk red pen.

I've used it and it was ok, other than I could not mark too far ahead or it was gone by the time I got to that area for quilting. I currently like the fine sewline pens that have refills.

That sounds like a plan. I have lots of chalk, but no applicator.

I used the white on the quilt that I just put into my frame to be hand quilted.

The instructions say to spritz lightly with hair spray to make the marks last longer, which I did.

I'll let you know how they last.

I tried this ONCE...
VERY MESSY. I won't use it this way again. :( There was blue powder EVERYWHERE!
