This stencil is very easy to follow and of course since it's leaves and no two leaves are exactly the same it doesn't put a lot of pressure on quilters who might be just starting out. It fills in a 4" border beautifully. It also can be taken a step further with paint- paint in the leaves with any fabric paint or ink* and then add even more dimension with more thread once the paint dries! It all starts with the stencil and your pounce pad, the possibilities are endless. * any fabric paint will work with our stencils, just rinse them out immediately and hang dry or use a hair dryer if you need to use it again soon, we recommend rinsing the paint off for each repeat. Ink allows more time to rinse than paint which can sometimes begin to dry very quickly depending on the different variables you might be working under such as heat and dryness in the air.

FULL LINE QUILTING STENCIL
Full line stencils are unique and designed to match perfectly with a chalk Pounce Pad. These stencils are accurate and are fast and easy to use. Full line stencils are made from a tough nylon mesh however they are light and delicate to use. Only the design on the stencil is open so there won't be any extra chalk residue on your fabric, also there is no "right" or "wrong" side to the stencil so it can be used on both sides. Using the Pounce Pad also helps to reduce hand fatigue as you are not constantly holding a pencil you simply wipe the pad over the stencil for an easy to see line every time. You can also use paint on the stencils without worry as they are waterproof and can simply be rinsed under water when finished. If the stencil gets wrinkled simply iron it flat again!
