I loved watching this video. Thanks for posting and I'm sure I'll use this method in the near future.

I'm glad you posted this info. I'm hand quilting a quilt right now and marking it with stencils was quite a chore.

I have not used this particular site, however, I have ordered a similar product, if not the same one, it's been a while; but having the strips on either side of the design on the roll makes it easy to attach to your quilt, maybe add a few pins here and there, but I have liked the results. I remember using the large cable design on a quilt and I was very pleased with the results and it was easy to tear off the quilt. I thought it was a great way to do a large stencil design without the marking.

I trace my design on the stabelizer then pin it to my quilt top and stitch away. I have been using this method for years and have never had it rip on me and have done various sizes of quilts.

This sounds like a great method! What do you use for marking the stabilizer? Thank you. :-)

I have used their "Borders made easy" and they were pretty easy to use. I got them when I started quilting, so they did help and were worth the expense. I have also used their "Stippling made easy" but I personally didn't find those helpful.
