There are various methods for transferring a design. Pounce pads for quilting are typically used when you're planning to make a hand-made quilt for your loved ones. To become an expert quilter, it takes a lot of time and persistence to learn to use pounce pads for quilting.
Fortunately, success at every task at hand is not only possible but also enjoyable with the right tools and accessories. Therefore, before we talk about how to mark your quilt, here are two essential tools you need to know about before starting your journey of creating your masterpieces:
A Pounce Pad
Pounce pads for quilting are basically cloth pads inside the plastic case filled with chalk in any color, such as blue, pink, etc. When you wipe chalk over a quilting stencil, it lightly adheres to the quilt top, making it possible to quickly and easily mark large, intricate stencils.
Marking tools
Planning is required for continuous quilting. You might want to make marks on your quilt for boundaries and reference points to make quilting easier. For example, a basic water-soluble pencil is useful for marking your reference points.
How to Mark the Pattern Using a Pink Pounce Pad for Quilting
In this technique, the design must first be drawn to scale before being punctured with tiny dots using a pounce wheel. The paper can then be turned over and given a light sanding. Although unnecessary, this will slightly widen the holes, simplifying the subsequent step. You can use a pink pounce pad for quilting, which generally contains pink pounce powder, to "pounce" the design onto the surface to be painted. Pounce powder used to be made of powdered cuttlefish bones, but it has been made of chalk for a long time. The powder comes in a variety of colors to ensure that there is a choice that will stand out against the background. A pink pounce pad for quilting is a small box with a soft fabric side that lets the fine powder pass through and into the pattern's perforated holes and is used to apply the powder. A pounce pattern is reusable, making it perfect for painting the same design in numerous locations. Notable, isn't it?
