Quilt Pounce Pad, Blue chalk
Details
This is a great way to mark your lighter colored fabrics! It also shows up on darks as well as lights so it’s a good choice for a busy print that has a lot of contrast. It does NOT iron off but you can brush it off or wash it off depending on the fabric. Some fabrics may have to be laundered. The Pounce Pad with blue chalk comes with enough chalk powder to fill the pad several times, (at least 5). Everyone’s quilts are different so it’s difficult to say “x” amount of quilts can be marked but we can say one bag was enough to demo how to transfer the Full Line Stencils at a recent show. We used it constantly for 9 hours a day for 4 days and we still had a quarter of the bag left at the end. That’s a lot of quilt marking! Refills are also available through us and soon hopefully at a local Quilt Shop in your area.

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.
