Pounce Pad Refill

Details

WHITE

This is the refill for our #QPW, Quilt Pounce Pad with our Original White Chalk. It's a great chalk to use on dark colored fabric. If you need to mark lighter colored fabrics you may consider using our pink or blue chalk instead.

There are 4 oz. of chalk in the bag, the same quantity that comes with the Pounce Pad. It is enough to fill your Pounce Pad six or seven times. It will provide hours of transferring stencils, it's hard to say how many quilts because each quilt can be so different but what we go by is how long it lasts at a show when demo-ing constantly with it. The record is over two shows, that's well over 50 hours.

This chalk does NOT iron off. It's a wash off/ brush off chalk, depending on your fabric. Since there is no pigment in the chalk you need not worry about it staining. You can wash it off in warm or cold water if brushing was not enough to get it completely off.

If it's bouncing off which can happen on some long arm machines, or in other situations, try spraying ordinary aerosol hair spray over the just pounced pattern. You should see improvement. It doesn't make it permanent but it does add to the level of adhesion on stubborn fabrics or when high vibrating machines are being used.

BARELY BLUE

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. It's a much lighter powder which is why 2 oz. is the same price as 4 oz. of our other colored chalk. They are filled by volume, not weight. 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!
