Why are they special?

• Tough Nylon Mesh, virtually indestructible
• See the entire sewing line with ease
• No right or wrong side

Full Line Stencils look light and delicate but they’re a tough piece of nylon mesh, virtually indestructible. The area that we don’t want the chalk to go through is closed off so our designs transfer complete- they’re not broken with the bridges used in plastic cut stencils. When you use a Full Line Stencil, you get to follow the complete line as you sew. There is no right or wrong side, most designs have registration marks to help align repeats and we have hundreds to choose from! Rather than tracing all those lines you just swipe the chalk-filled refillable Pounce Pad over the mesh and are ready to sew in no time.

Do they require special care?

The stencils are easy to care for, they are waterproof. You can even use paint through them, just rinse them off with water when you’re done. If they get wrinkled just iron them flat again! Use a medium to medium-high heat setting and no steam when ironing them. It’s a great way to clean them if you’re using the Ultimate Pounce Powder. Always wipe them after using the colored chalks to make sure there is none left over to get pulled through if you use white chalk afterward. You can wipe them with a dry or damp towel. A micro-fiber towel works also well. They are very easy to care for and will last a very long time!

• Iron them to remove any Ultimate Chalk or wrinkles
• Extremely long-lasting
• Rinse with water if using paint through them

ABOUT OUR POUNCE PADS

If you’re like most quilters you’re probably tired of spending countless hours marking your quilt top. With the Quilt Pounce, it’s never been easier to do the most tedious part of making a quilt. Using a Pounce pad basically involves two steps. First, position the stencil where you want to transfer it and second, rub the Pounce Pad over the design to transfer the chalk powder through the mesh openings of the design. It really is that easy! See our frequently asked questions for more information.

This is our most popular Pounce Pad, the chalk disappears with heat! Turn your iron on to Med-High. It also washes out. It’s actually tailors chalk in a ground-up form, it won’t build up on your iron or fabric. The adhesion to your fabric is great! It shows up on bold colors, dark's, and just about any solid color. Anything that has a white marble to it or prints that have white in them will make this chalk very hard to see, that’s when you would use one of our color chalks.

Quilt Pounce Pad with Blue Chalk: Brush/Wash off

Blue Chalk is for marking on multi-colored fabrics, busy prints, etc. The chalk shows up well on dark fabrics as well as lights.

For any of the brush-off chalks and even for the Ultimate, we offer our Magical Lint Brushes to aid in removing any chalk residue left behind after sewing over the lines. They work great and cost only $5.00.

Are you a lover of Best Press? We have a spray bottle that is perfect to deliver a light even mist of Best Press instead of the globby unpredictable spray that you get with the bottle it’s sold in. Buy the Best Press in the bulk sizes and use these Spray Bottles instead! The money you save on the bulk purchase pays for the sprayer. And as we hear so often from the women in line at shows talking to each other “if you’re only buying one, you’re making a mistake, you need one for water and one for Best Press!
