i am glad this is working for you....i once saw a lady at a quilt class use this type of stencil, and she spent hours trying to get all the paper off, and it left a lot of little white dots.....be careful with your threads....

I was at a class not to long ago and they did the same thing
stencil and typing paper, freezer paper, press & seal,
she said anything to trace and sew - she used iron on backing that will wash away.

When I do stencils, if it is on the boarders/sashing, I just cut long strips of white tissue paper, trace the stencil on the tissue paper, then pin it to the boarder/sashing. The tissue paper is very thin and comes right off. Sometimes I use a cotton swab to dampen the stitching area and the paper comes right off. I found wax paper to be a little too stiff. Mary

Something new for me, I am enjoying getting new stencils for later projects.
