i do have a question and you guys say no questions are stupid...i downloaded some free stencil designs, i've got a chalk pencil, now how do i get the design to the quilt top?
can you get ahold of template making grid. I usually use this and gently use my exacto knife and trace the paper pattern under it to cut the first lines (be sure to keep a copy of your original pattern) then I widen the lines a bit (enough to fit my marker) (fine point fons & porter marking pencil) and then lay that on the top and trace.
