Ditto Sulky Solvy. I always wash my quilts when I finish.

I do this with waxed paper, it easy to see through so you can center your image without any problems. I've also read that many people use the pouncing powder with a small foam brush that you can swipe over stencils with. It's hard to get it to come out of the pouncing thing.

I think the pounce has kinda a trick to it. Haven't used it much but I think maybe you gotta get it loaded good and then rub not pounce. You could post another question. How to use pounce. I am sure others know more than me LOL

yes, the stupid pounce. they should rename that thing.
i did a border with it and had to wipe it over and over. my stencil was leaves and had sharp points that kept getting caught in the pounce pad covering. i finally did "pounce" it on!!

I use a light box too, except mine is an old wood box with a piece of glass on the top.

I am somewhat new to FMQ and my stitches are not consistent. When my stitching is small, it's a pain in the butt to pull the bits of plastic out. That's why I use the Sulky Solvy. It washes out.
