I use the pounce and "mark as you go" when I'm quilting on my longarm. It does work well and I am very happy with it. I've also used the washable crayola markers and I really love those when I want to mark a whole quilt before quilting. I've used them on several quilts of my own and have had NO problems with them once I washed them. It sure made me nervous the first time my quilt was a blaze of orange marker before I threw it in the washer! Came out beautifully though. Whew!

I bought the stuff about 10 years ago, but never got around to using it. I've kept the white chalk stuff, but I 'think' I gave away the pouncer. BUT I'm pretty sure when I bought it they said to spray it with hairspray and that will hold it there, then it washes out.

I have used the pounce that's shaped like an old blackboard eraser. With both the blue and white. I do an area at a time and brush it with a palm brushed when I'm finished. I usual rinse the finished quilt once the binding is on. Haven't had a problem yet. You can use old pantie hose with any fine powder.

I couldn't get my pounce to work at first. Then, I talked with the sales person at the quilt festival and was told how to get it to work. I took it outside and hit it several times on my brick wall. Now it works great. The chalk just needed to work its' way into the base. Good luck.
