I just used a pounce and template for the first time. I went crazy and pounced the design all over the project that I was working on, and THEN low 'n behold, all the areas I wasn't quilting in, rubbed off and I had to re-do.

note to self: only pounce the EXACT area you are immediately working in.

The pounce chalk, after quilting, did disappear really really easy though. (used the sleeve of my robe as it was handy)

The jury is still out as to how I feel about the whole pouncing thing though.
