This is a great tip!! One of these days I will give it another shot. Hmm...maybe on the childs quilt I just made. When you ae using pounce are you using a long arm or a sewing machine. I find its so messy and rubs off.
I like to use a stencil - but instead of a pounce pad and chalk - just put the chalk into a container and use a small foam brush to apply the chalk to the quilt top. you can put/paint the chalk right on the lines of the stencil - instead of all over the top of the stencil. It is no where as messy and you don't end up with chalk all over the place. Plus when you are quilting the extra chalk tends to "bounce" all over the top. Try the chalk and a foam brush... I like it!!!

Beautiful quilt!!! My experience has been that it was harder for me to follow a line than go free-hand. You are smart to practice different ways and see which works best for you. Post a pic when you are done so we can see!
