    I have one but have never used it - I like the frixon pens and the ceramic pencils.

    Iuse this and go over the area first with a damp wash cloth and the pounce works better and also rub across. It worked good for me.

    I expected to hear it was just water. Would you want to put hair spray on over the chalk? Wouldn't that make it hard to get off? I would think that would have to be washed out. I hope I can get an answer to this.
    I'm not sure what she sprayed it with but I'm sure it was probably just water. I'd be afraid to spray it with anything else.

    [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial] Blue and white chalk is at hardware stores for snap lines [cheap].

    I have both the light chalk powder and dark. I use it quit a bit but find that sometimes a wiping motion is better than the dabbing motion. Works great with all stencils.

    I have used the pounce to mark stencils on a block. Had white chalk first, then bought the blue ultimate. You need 2 separate pouncers for each color chalk. Discovered that you don't need the pounce pad at all. I put the chalk powder in a little cup, and use a small foam brush to "wipe" the chalk over the stencil.

    I've been a member for some time, but AWOL for quite a while. Glad to see this site is still active. At one time I checked in daily and thoroughly enjoyed all you quilters. Now I have a question and I knew just where to get a good answer. I am (at last) going to try my had at hand quilting. I have my quilt top, batting and backing fabric all pinned together and just waiting for me to get started. The parts of the quilt on which my quilted pattern will be is all white. I've seen posts here that say "do not use the blue chalk because it cannot be removed".....well, what should I use? My plastic template is a fairly small (about 6") flower design with simple lines.

    I did NOT like how messy it was. I prefer to use the Clover liner chalk better but don't EVER USE THE BLUE OR YELLOW!!! Those two colors do NOT COME OFF the quilt AT ALL but I have never had any problem with wiping the white chalk off. I am sure I used it on the border of my avatar.

    I like the white. I need a tool that will perforate computer paper better than the dritz tool for pattern tracing. I can set up almost any design on the computer, but I need to perforate the paper. There is a tool for scrapbooking. It doesn't work on ink jet paper.

    I saw in one of the catalogs where they have spray chalk now. I like that idea better. I have used the pounce, but I don't know why it wouldn't stay put long enough to quilt the whole thing. I am wondering about the spray if it will stay there better.
