How many of you buy stencils to use for quilting the top of your quilt? Are there better ones than others? Are there certain shapes/designs to stay away from?
How many of you use the quilting designs your computerized sewing machine offers? Does it work well?
How many of you draw your own design and templates?
Do any of you know of a good reference for showing how to do : you are suppose to quilt from center out ( anyway that is what is recommended from my research) so how do you start and stop your stitching ( ex. you have a plain block in the middle of a quilt and you put a design of your choice there. How do you start and stop stitching and how do you tie in those pesky ends?)
Not ready to try much of what I am asking, but I figure you can't answer the curiosity if you don't ask those who are long time quilters
