The Ultimate Marking Pencil is a wonderful marker for dark fabrics! It stays on - doesn't even smudge - and washes off or even better, your iron will erase it! It's a solid form of our Ultimate Pounce Powder, formed into that solid by wax which does not leave any residue behind when removed. The whole pencil is a marker, it won't dry out, you don't get a refill for it you just use it and sharpen it when needed until you use it up. The more you stick to using it on dark fabric the longer it will last because the less you will have to sharpen it. It's easy to sharpen, use the slightly larger than standard size sharpener. It doesn't go through the Full Line Stencil screen but makes a perfect complimentary tool for the Pounce Pad. Use it to touch up chalk lines that were not fully transferred. This is much easier than trying to realign the stencil and reapply the chalk.

About the Full Line Stencils:
Full Line Stencils are unique, they are made to be transferred with a Pounce pad. The opening that the chalk from the pad goes through is a mesh or screen, this allows the complete line to be transferred. These stencil don't have a true opening so a pencil will not work to transfer them. The way they work is by the chalk powder in the pounce pad being forced through the screen mesh as it's swiped across the surface of the stencil. The design is transferred on to the quilt top so quickly, no more fatigue in your hands from gripping the pencil, fabric does not get stretched and pulled like it does with a sharp pencil point. 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. No more breaks and bridges that are found in traditional stencils. They are accurate, fast and easy to use. This is the perfect go to design when you can not make up your mind. It goes with everything -
This Four Corner Feather is 6-1/2in square and adds a beautiful touch of elegance to your 7in to 8in blocks!
