Hi girls! In the top picture, on the black material I have marked a small stencil. It is marked with a fons and porter mechanical quilting pencil. I used the white lead on the black so you could see it. That is a 4' stencil on the black. The pencil also comes with dark lead for light fabric. In the bottom blue picture you can see what a stencil marking looks like after quilting. The small stencil marked on the black is laying on the table in the picture of stencils. I don't know if that helps or not.
