I am looking for a supplier for blue pounce chalk, or pink or any colour that will show up on white. I would like it in Canada if possible. I have looked on ebay and their prices are good--under $15 and then they want $15-$18 to send it to Canada, plus duty! Wow, way too much. If anyone can tell me, I would be very grateful.

I would stay away from any chalk in yellow or blue. There have been many post about how blue or yellow chalk is difficult if not impossible to remove from the quilt. If you do find some, please be sure to test it out on the fabric before proceeding.

I have not had trouble with the blue pounce chalk. I dilute it with the white pounce (regular kind, not the iron off kind). Most of it brushes away. What little residue that remains in the quilt has always washed out for me. However, my first wash I do in cold water with NO SOAP of any kind. I then carefully inspect the quilt prior to drying. If I notice any blue residue, I give it a second wash, again no soap, cold water. I have never had a case of the chalk not coming out.

The blue chaco liner OTOH has given me trouble.

Once I used the yellow, it caused a bit of a problem as when it was washed it left an orange mark where I used it. That was the last Time I used it. I would use the white, I think. Just my experience.

I would be very wary of using any coloured pounce chalk due to the damage that it could cause your sewing machine.

Ask me how I know.
