Stencil

Top and backing are ready, it's time now to prepare the hand quilting pattern.

I am glad that, searching among all my stencils, I found the perfect one to fit in the plain squares.
To draw the lines on the fabric, I am not using anymore the blue washable marker, too expensive and getting dry too fast. I am very satisfied with the charcoal pencil 2B that is almost invisible once stitched above, and completely invisible after the first washing.

Next step basting... in my next post.

    This is going to be so cute! I agree--those pens dry up way too fast for what we pay for them!

    Thanks for sharing your stencil marking, I am not good at that and try to avoid it by using straight lines, but I would like to try some new stencils I have. Off to buy a charcoal pencil!

    Nice to see someone else using pencil. I have seen far too many horror stories with those blue pens to ever want to try them. My very first quilt I use blue ball point pen....I did not know any better. But, with Fels Naptha and a little nail brush it all came out. After that I switched to pencil...that was over 20 years ago and never had any problems getting the marks out.

    I will have to try the stencils...great idea for variety as I usually draw a loop de loop, free hand.
    blessings, jill

    Your flower stencil is a perfect fit. I too use the pencil to mark or the hera marker. I agree those blue pens sure don't last long and I have never had the soft lead pencil not wash out! Is that a Pepper Cory stencil with the bird on it? Looks very Pennsylvannia Dutch!

    I love stencils but have found that over the years, the quality of the plastic has gotten thinner. Have fun quilting...

    I always use the pencil. I'm glad to read that I'm not the only one. In my opinion, the simplest way is often the best way. :-)

    I was wondering what you used to mark with and if it comes out. I have so much trouble with seeing the marks when using stencils. These look nice and easy to follow.
