I'm an art historian and pouncing was originally a technique used to transfer designs for fresco paintings (which were painted directly into wet plaster on the wall...this is the technique used for the Sistine Chapel). How funny that it is now a sewing technique.mavieenrosehttp://une-vie-en-rose.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654329590294133998.post-34171673788628553692011-05-04T21:17:48.084-04:002011-05-04T21:17:48.084-04:00I've heard more than one knowledgeable person ...I've heard more than one knowledgeable person say that pressing is 50% percent of garment construction. That may be slightly overstated, but it is extremely important. Who knew? :-)<br /><br />New York SewerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654329590294133998.post-40949389913826272892011-05-04T21:12:24.656-04:002011-05-04T21:12:24.656-04:00Thanks for this post.

I took a class with Kenneth King and he introduced the technique of "pouncing," a very precise method of transferring markings to fabric, often used for intricate embroidery designs, although it has other use. It requires a special kind of powder, although K. King did say that cornstarch used with a tennis sock would do in a pinch.<br /><br />Anyway, I did a search for New York stores and MWS came up. I wrote them, but the only powder they had was for simulating dirt on actors. <br /><br />I will definitely check them out. It's pathetic, but a nicely lit shot of a well-appointed velvet board is oddly stimulating.<br /><br />(I've since found pouncing tools elsewhere on the Internet.)<br /><br />New York SewerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654329590294133998.post-12536628492217301162011-05-03T16:41:53.828-04:002011-05-03T16:41:53.828-04:00It's always great when you discover that there...It's always great when you discover that there is a real brick and mortar place to go.store supplieshttp://www.nu-era.com/store-suppliesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654329590294133998.post-22276109219331979972011-05-03T15:27:04.692-04:002011-05-03T15:27:04.692-04:00Thanks for posting this.
