Anyone used a pounce pattern before? I ordered some letters and paid for one, it came, and I was not impressed at all. Biggest problem is I couldn't find a pounce bag or whatever you call the thing. Seems like they would include it with the pattern. I went to 3 art or craft stores and no one sold them and only one person knew what I was talking about.
With my deadline coming and going and no time to research what it was made of and track down those supplies, I made an acrylic template that worked a lot better. When I look at the $80 I paid for it, it makes me mad. The letters they printed on the pattern were about 1/4" off the actual holes they punched, so what you were looking at visually wasn't where the letters would end up, not to mention trying to figure how how to get the pounce dust to work.
Anyone use them, or had any luck with them? From now on I'll just make a template myself. I know my cost was far less than the $80 a paid for a useless pattern.
Also noticed that the artwork that was given to me didn't have the letters centered, and they used that graphic. Wouldn't you think a company that cuts those things for a living would have given a quick call and said "You know the 3 lines of text don't have the same center line, don't you?". Nope. Just cut it and send it. Had I installed it via their template, it would have been ugly, and expensive for me. I would have had to patch the wall and repaint the wall where the letters were removed.
