This is a great little sharpener for your chalk pencils. Sharpen slowly with light pressure for best results. Purchase one for home and one for traveling to classes

Lead Mechanical Pencil

With .5mm lead, this is a great marking tool when used very sparingly. It always stays sharp and if marked with a light hand, usually your thread will cover the pencil mark. Keep an extra one in your tool kit for taking notes in class.

When you don’t want to mark on your quilt. Trace your pattern onto this thin paper using fine pencil or wash-away marker. Pin paper onto your quilt, and follow the lines with your machine, then tear away. So Easy! To make several “copies” layer up to 15 pieces of paper with traced copy on top. Pin corners to secure and stitch (needle punch) on machine through the stack with an unthreaded needle. You can also pounce through a single needle punched pattern.

Also great for light stabilizing and paper piecing.
