Quilting Heidi Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 I just thought I'd pass along a hint while it was fresh in my mind. I am working on a Baltimore Album Quilt. How do you spell intense? BAQ! LOL Anyway my customer did not want me to use anything to mark the quilt because she doesn't plan on washing. That really limits you. I can't do the level of heirloom without marking. I've been using pounce powder and that has worked in some areas but not in this particular area. I tried black light powder and had a huge mess. It jsut bounced all over but I managed to get it stitch after a lot of stress. I remembered that you could add a little black light powder to the pounce powder and that did the trick. It worked even better when I remembered to wipe the area first with a damp sponge. Whew that was a stressful evening. Hopefully I can save somebody else some of the stress. I had just forgotten about this method. Normally the white powder works just fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisquilter Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Thanks Heidi! I have a customer that does not want any marking either. I have been putting off doing the quilt while I looked for an alternative method. You may have saved the day for me. Who supplies the black light powder? chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Chris I got my black light powder from kinsmen who are now out of business. Not sure who else sells it but I'll bet you can do google search and find it. Let me know if you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
