Buy once, make all the HST’s you’ll ever need. Sew on the dash lines, cut on the solid lines of the X and then cut the final lines indicated by the scissors and you will have up to 8 half square triangles!
Why trace all those lines with a pencil and risk stretching your fabric when you can be done with one swipe?
The Ultimate Pounce Powder which is included with the Ultimate Quilt Pounce is a light white powder – a type of tailors chalk that irons off with steam or dry iron. There is enough powder to easily refill the Pad 3-4 times, enough to mark a few large quilts. Ironing it off is the easiest way to remove it but by no means the only way. Sometimes when you’re using a poly batting or metallic thread you may not want to iron it away. It will come off easily with a damp cloth. It also brushes off. It will iron off from the back if you have delicate applique you may not want to iron over.
You may want to store it in its tray upside down. This keeps the powder from settling in the pad and over-saturating it.
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!
