This swipe pad comes in a red container that measures 3" x 4.5" To fill the quick swipe remove the plug from the top and carefully pour Miracle Chalk into the swipes reservoir. The first time the Swipe is filled firmly pat the Swipe into the palm of your hand to get the powder to flow evenly. It is easier to mark with a Swipe that is well saturated with powder. To mark your stencil simply position the stencil where you want it and swipe the powder-filled Swipe over the top of the stencil.
I like the concept of this product. I have used it on medium to dark hues of fabric with success. Light fabrics with the white chalk will not mark in a way that can be seen. I like the ease of use and it affords me the ability to use some of my quilt stensils that don't work well with a marking pencil. After marking my quilt I feel compelled to wash my hands because they feel sticky and that is just plain annoying to me. Also I don't want the residue inside my quilting gloves. The product does fade away after steam pressing. So over all I would say yes this is a usable product on the right project and its not over the top priced so anyone one that feels compelled to try something new can try this marking tool out.
