I love my pounce!! I lap quilt with a hoop & do a small section at a time. I have to put a book or something hard under to mark. Thats a little irksome but all in all I love it. Have only used the white so far.
|
I have mixed feelings about mine. I use the white iron off powder and it does iron off very nicely, but I find it only shows up on really dark fabric. And you use quite a bit of the powder for each quilt. The swiping part can really mess up a stencil, especially an intricate one with small points etc.
|
I find that most of my quilts are not dark, dark, so the chalk is hard to see. I think I am going to try the pilot pens mentioned here. I too hate marking my quilts, but when I do, I am pleased with the end result.

I have not used a pounce but I am going to San Diego on Saturday for a week. If I can only go to 1 Quilt store which one should it be? Thanks LindaZ

Been there,done that ,and I hate that darn thing. I get powder all over the place . Just a mess.

Name on it is FRI X ION. Cost was $2.95. |
I have it and love it.! Only a couple of things I do. Iron the quilt first then spray with hairspray it will hold the chalk on your quilt till you get to it. Never Iron the chalk unless it says its ok as you will set it your quilt. I know that someone else said it but will say it again you rub not pounce! Hope this helps.
