the Pounce thingy. never got it to show up on the quilts! went slow, rubbed, didn't pounce and still nothing! finally threw it in the trash. I now use the Mark-B-Gone markers. I can clearly see the markings and they do come off when spritzed with cold water.

The Pounce has to be SLAMMED on a hard surface about 100 times to get it saturated. Then it works like a charm when swiped over the template. So many don't know how to use it and that's a shame. It's an excellent product.

A gadget for cutting circles of various sizes, forget what it's called. Much like having a pin on one end of a string & pencil on the other to draw circles, only this is for cutting. It's still in it's packaging.

The Curve Master,about 10 yrs ago I saw it at a show because I was going to make Apple core patchwork quilt...I think it is still in it's plastic casing..I also have about 10 sets of Thangles but they are never the size that I need or I forget to use them..

That could be why people don't use it. By the time I finished slamming it on a hard surface 100 times, I'd be ready to just toss it out.

Just let me go to a quilt show and I always buy something that I have not used yet and even forgot how to even use it.

I love my purple things...yes...I have two of them and use them every time I sew. But I'm a template junkie and have more of them than I will ever use. I've even sold some on Facebook, only to turn around and order a "new" template in a different design. Never owned a Bobbin Winder as I take the time to wind several bobbins before starting a project. If I live long enough maybe I'll get a chance to use everything I've purchased at least once...LOL
