How do I use this template to FMQ?
#21
With this template I would cut it all out. it would leave the outline of the inside (this is what you want on your quilt) Then just lay in place and trace the inside design onto the area you want to put the design on. I use the pens that are heat erasable. or the powder that irons away. on black I have used the white clover pen, it to removes easily. For FMQ this will not ruin this template as the design is the still intact.

Don't cut the stencil.Trace the design onto your quilt top before you make it into a sandwich.You join up the lines so that they are continuous.It is best to use chalk or water soluble pen to draw the design as graphite can often be hard to remove the marks.

I used a blue water disappearing marker on a quilt with a template like that. It never disappeared. Soooo very disappointed. I had to over quilt in that area to hide the light blue marks. Then scrub!!! to get off what I couldn't hide.
Be careful. I have been told to use a #2 pencil lightly and it will disappear in the washing of the quilt. Haven't tried it yet.

At our guild meeting a lady said to cut out shapes from shelf paper then put them in place, quilt around and then move to another place until the adhesive is gone. I think you would need to be careful not to stitch into the paper as it would be harder to remove.
