I found free online stencil patterns. I print out the page and trace it onto the tissue paper that you'd use when wrapping a gift. I spray the stenciled paper lightly with basting spray and smooth it on to my quilt top. I do small sections at a time since I'm using my domestic machine and roll my quilt. I lightly spray with water after I've sewn and the paper comes right off. Any small pieces under the stitches comes off when washed. I get great results with this method.
