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.

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.

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