I have some stencils and i am marking a quilt with a 7 inch square butterfly circle that flows from one butterfly to another. I have twenty of these squares. I have marked all but about 6. I have 3 an 1/2 inch squares and rectangles around each sq and I plan on stippling in those. I am having trouble with my FMQ with a BSR and it seems when I go around a loop my stitch gets longer, like some are 1/4 inch. My questions are about that and do you think FMQ without a stencil to mark is faster just free motion? It seems to me that it is faster without the stencil to follow.
