Diana, I recently purchased the Quiltmaker stencil dvd's. Actually just 2 of them, but I love them. The program lets you resize the motif to fit your block or border size. You just print the design on your printer. I think each dvd has about a hundred motifs. I like to free motion stipple too (no special long arm - just my Babylock). Anyway, I trace the motif onto a piece of tulle with a permanent marker. Then I pin the tulle to my blocks or border and mark. I use the purple water soluble pen when I can, but on darker fabrics I just use a sharpened piece of soap. Practice your free motion on cheapie fabric sandwiches and soon you will be off and running!
