Default A Question About Stencils

So, I have machine quilted a number of quilts and have done the stipple, straight line, and echo. I was hoping to utilize a stencil in the border of my current quilt. I assumed a stencil would give me a design that I could easily follow with my machine. So I bought this leaf stencil and quickly determined that it can't be done in a continuous motion. So what do people do? Do you backtrack? Do you stop and start with a locking stitch? Any advice will be helpful and in the future I'll probably examine the stencil better!
