I use them all the time. I found a stencil cutter on ebay last night and purchased it and I will be making my own stencils, my own designs and all. Looking forward to that. As far as moving my stencil to match up the design and such or make it a continuous one, I just move it to match up some of the liones on it, if it is a feather designm then I just move the stencil and if there is a space I can draw on an extra feather and such. Works out really wqell. Have a great day, Huggeis, Fay
