the looooong piece of paper worked like a charm. I had the stems meeting at the corner and then will applique a square over the ends....wasn't hard at all but I did easy curves so it wouldn't be so drastic...thanks...

I would think you could use an Elmer's Glue Stick to stick your stencils down as well.

I use a Sue Pellard Designs Leaves Galore Applique Template - Grande. It has two sizes of nice swoops to use for vines. I mark it on the border, usually with the purple disappearing pen, or chalk on a dark fabric. I usually quilt that line first, then go back to put in the leaves, but sometimes just do one pass for vine and leaves. http://www.createforless.com/sue-pel...pid194434.aspx The ruler is made for cutting, but I mostly use it for quilt marking. I use a Sweet Sixteen and am still practicing to get even spacing of free motion quilting.

For paper, you can buy hers. Her price is high but it's nice to support her, since she does offer an amazing tutorial.

You can also can get 50 yards of 12" wide light yellow tracing paper at Amazon for ~$9-11. http://www.amazon.com/Bienfang-Sketc...+tracing+paper
I love, love this!!!! I will use this on my next quilt

I believe Quilt in a Day and Missouri Star have rulers for scallops and vines.

I draw a design out on copy paper and make multiple copies in my printer and tape it together (end to end). Sometimes you may have to make every other copy in a reverse image, but it works perfectly for my longarm.

When I need to have a border match I use adding machine tape. You can cut it the length of your border and just keep folding it in half until you have the space you want - then just unfold it and you have your sections ready to mark. It's probably the easiest way I have found.
