Stencils for machine quilting? Which ones?
Hey all, I'm having success with stencils and machine quilting. However, the one I'm using requires a LOT of travel stitching.
Since this is new for me I'm wondering if there are special stencils anywhere that don't require so much.
Here is the one I'm using. It fits perfectly in my blocks. Hope you can see it.
Covid has been the motivator for me to greatly improve and I'm excited!
TIA

Being on lockdown has also been a great motivator for my FMQ skills. Have you checked out Cindy Needham site? She has some excellent tutorials on FMQ on her blog. She also has some nice stencils. I'm hoping that they will go on sale, because, honestly, they're a little pricey.

Here is a whole page of free continuous line quilting design sites.

I too love stencils for FMQ. They make quilting so much easier! The Stencil Company is my favorite place to buy them. They have hundreds! https://www.quiltingstencils.com

I use those Crayola washable markers. They are so easy to use, then just wipe off with water.
I checked Cindy Needhem's site but they are too complicated for me.
I will try the site NZ posted- thanks all !!!

I love my stencils. What I use is dependent on the quilt that I am making. They work great with QAYG projects. I always lay out my stencil and us a washable marking pen to mark out the design. I have a dozen or so that work well with each other. the one that gets the most work these days is a feather design. I do a lot of other FMQ these days
