Sounds like the chalk you buy to fill the "Pouncer."

I have a Triangle Trimmer by Fons and Porter - used to cut the corners off triangles at the correct angle. Good grief! I can't believe I would have bought this! How hard is it to cut the dog ears off a triangle? HAHA! Also have an Omnigrid ruler with 1/8" marked in black all over the ruler - I can hate it - I can hardly see through it.

I have a lot of different marking pencils that I don't seem to use. I use tailor's chalk mostly. Comes in white and blue.

I use a piece of masking tape about 12 inches long roll it onto itself (wrong side out attach ends to each other) and put that on my sewing table. Great for throwing threads on.

Did that make sense?

Thank you so much for reminding me what to do with the pedicure things. I've been trying like crazy to remember what to do with them!

I just use a regular mechanical pencil now. Works just fine.

QuiltingGrannie, I prefer a regular pencil, too, but I have had trouble removing the marks when I am done quilting. What do you do for this?
