My BIGGEST problem with FMQ is that I have absolutely NO ability to free hand anything, in any form. If I can not draw a decent squiggle how in the world am I supposed to reverse "draw" to fmq?? So I use stencils and it solves that problem. Except it takes F O R E V E R to draw in a stencil, and you still have to connect the parts. So today I tried Pounce chalk marker in a stencil. WOW FAST easy and awesome!!!! :hug: Pounce is AWESOME! Sets with hairspray to keep it from disappearing, then wipes off with a cloth diaper. Nice FAST easy way to mark fabric so even *I* who can't draw a straight line with a ruler, can FMQ!! Happy dance!! My 2nd favorite BEST NEW FRIEND is teflon oven liner. I saw the free motion quilt project girl uses the Queen Supreme Slider, which is 11.5" x 17" and sells for $60-$70. The oven liner is 25" x 17" and is $7.99. SWEET! I taped it down, used a seam ripper to make the needle hole, and YES it does actually make a SIGNIFICANT difference, especially since I use fleece for my quilt backs. small needle hole: ------ Cathryn

I've been meaning to get some Pounce items, nice to see they work so well. I am capable of doodling on paper but I think I need a lot more practice when it comes to FMQing. Having a guide will definitely make it easier. Thanks for sharing! ------ I'm finally a blogger! sewming.blogspot.com

I am a simple minded person. ------ Cathryn

The hairspray worked well too to keep it on there while I was quilting, and it wiped off very easily afterwards. I will wash the quilt anyways before it's used, but I was happy to already not have a bunch a markings on my quilt to worry about. My daughter is not too pleased I used her hairspray though ------ Cathryn

I have the powder and a stippling stencil, but how do you apply it? Is there a tool for that? I didn't see a tool to apply it when I bought it from Joann's. Maybe I need to go back? And thanks for the hairspray tip! ------ Bernina 730E, 530, and 350PE Singer 221 FW, 403a When life gives you green velvet curtains, make a green velvet dress.

Would you need both? ------ ~Diana~ ♥ Bernina 830E ♥ Bernina 1150MDA serger ✝The Lord is my Light and my Salvation: whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

And thanks for the hairspray tip! Look at the picture with the stencil. Next to the stencil is a white fluffy thing that looks like a chalk board eraser. It has a stoppered hole in the top that you put the powder into, then you just wipe the applicator over the stencil and the chalk is there! Simple easy and SUPER fast! ------ Cathryn
