I am just wondering if anyone else has trouble getting the pounce pad to transfer onto the fabric. When I do my own stencils I use tracing paper and machine sew the design ( without thread ) so it leaves needle holes. I then use the pounce pad over the paper. I am finding the holes are not big enough to transfer the pattern. I was wondering if a jeans needle would be good.
My other question is what is the best type of pen /pencil to transfer a quilting stencil when I will be using light coloured thread and using tracing paper as I don't want the pens to transfer onto the quilt.

Cheers jackie.
