How Full Line Stencils™ Work: Even the best traditions need an update. That’s why we’ve reinvented stencils for quilting. These unique stencils are transferred with a Quilt Pounce Pad™ and because the material is a nylon mesh open only on the lines of the design, the powder goes right through to the quilt top! There are no breaks or bridges to fill in, no mess, and it’s easy, fun, and effortless to transfer the beautiful designs onto your quilt tops. A few swipes of the chalk filled Quilt Pounce™ and you’re ready to accent the beauty of your quilt by stitching over a crisp, crystal clear motif, border, or continuous line. Full Line Stencils™ are clearly the choice of quality and value. Perfect for beginners all the way to the pros who thought they had everything.
Full Line Stencils™ require very little care. They are tough and can be transferred countless times. If they begin to get a little “dusty” from the chalk use a damp cloth to clean them. A dry Microfiber towel also works really well. If you’re using the Ultimate Pounce Powder you can actually even iron them to clean them up! Be sure to clean them if switching colors of chalk. You don’t want to heat set the blue when you’re ironing off the white.
What’s the best way to store Full Line Stencils™? Punch holes right through them or slip them into inexpensive sheet protectors and keep them in a binder. For the larger stencils, store flat or roll them up, they don’t retain much of a memory.

FAQs
1. What is the Ultimate Marking Pencil used for?
It’s your go-to fabric marker for dark fabrics, especially when you’re quilting, sewing, or crafting. It’s perfect for freehand layout lines, extending pattern boundaries, or filling in any faint spots after you've pounced a stencil design.
2. Does it show up well on dark fabrics?
It sure does! That’s actually its specialty. It lays down bright, crisp, easy-to-see lines on deep colors and dark prints so you never have to strain your eyes while stitching. When you're done, a quick pass with an iron makes the marks disappear.
3. How do I remove the pencil marks?
Just press them away with an iron. The marks vanish with heat once your stitching is complete. Because every fabric blend and finish behaves a little differently, we always recommend doing a quick test on a scrap or hidden corner first.
4. Can I draw through a Full Line Stencil with this pencil?
No, the pencil isn't made to trace through the mesh of our stencils. Our Full Line Stencils work best paired with a Pounce Pad and chalk powder to transfer the whole pattern in seconds. Keep the Ultimate Marking Pencil handy to touch up lines, connect motifs, or sketch your own registration marks outside the stencil.
5. Can I use it for everyday sewing and garment making?
Definitely, while quilters swear by it, it works great for darts, hems, pocket placements, and alterations on dark apparel fabrics. Just remember to swatch-test on a scrap of your garment fabric first to ensure it presses out cleanly.
6. Will it dry out if I leave the cap off?
Not at all. Unlike liquid or felt-tip markers that dry up right when you need them most, this is a traditional solid core pencil. It’s always ready to use, even if it’s been sitting in your sewing drawer for months.
7. Does it take refills?
Nope, no fussy cartridges or refills needed. Just sharpen it with a standard pencil sharpener whenever you need a fresh, crisp point, and keep stitching until it's down to the nub.
