I presume one would prefer to use the cassia version for this.
Over on the H-Needlework list (Historical needlework, NOT limited to the SCA
period or SCA persons) we have had a discussion of pouncing. This is the
act of taking a stencil and forcing a fine powder through so as to leave a
tracing on the fabric below, which is used as a pattern for embroidery or
quilting.
One lady has just reported that ground cinnamon works very well on light
fabrics, being of the right density to leave a nice, light-but-definite
pattern on the cloth. Plus, it gives the embroidery a wonderful smell!

May God have mercy on my enemies
For they shall certainly need it.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.
I intend to live forever -- so far, so good!
