Thanks for the help!
This is something I have been wonder about too. Can I use a stencil and free motion quilt it or are they just for long-armers? I am struggling to attempt much on my own.
a stencil is just a pattern to trace a design onto your fabric and yes you can use one, a template is a design that you follow around with the machine and I don't see how you could do that with a regular machine, I think it would just be too hard.
