A toned down version of our Blue Chalk, our Barely Blue Pounce Powder is ideal for marking on white or other very light colored fabric. Why not just use blue? Quilters have told us they like an option that is visible yet not so overpowering . Our regular Blue Chalk is formulated to be ideal for marking fabric with busy prints because it shows up well on lights as well as darks and every color in between. We decided to offer this unique option because we found our customers were buying blue chalk from us along with a white and they were mixing there own blend! We want to save them the trouble and also offer them something better.
The Barely Blue is a mix of blue pigment (very little) and our Ultimate Pounce Powder. That means it will stay on the fabric nicely and will not bounce off as you sew. It does not iron off, it easily washes off and often times brushing it off is enough. The quantity sold with the Pounce Pad or in a refill bag still will transfer stencils for well over 30 hours – that translates into a lot of quilts marked for the money!

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.
