I was wondering where you all get your quilting stencils if you quilt your items yourself. I am having a very hard time finding stencils.

Or do you make them yourselves?

Thanks for any help!

I know I saw some at the local quilt shop here. I hope you find some soon. :)

Well, I got most of mine from various quilt shops in my state, though some are no longer carrying them due to so many people using long arms now or because the shop it's self offers long arm services. There are a lot of online shops that still offer them though, so that's how I purchase them now. Do a Google search for 'Quilt Stencils' and you'll have many shops to choose from.

I'm a satisfied customer of The Stencil Co... go to www.quiltingstencils.com

I ordered and they arrived in a few days.. Tons of stencils from which to choose, too!

I saw some yesterday at our local Hancock Fabrics.

Hobby Lobby also carries them but I use the stencil co for almost all of mine.

I went to a Thift store and bought 32 for 20.00...Yoohoo...that was my sweet deal.

My LQS carries some stencils but I bought most of mine from the Stencil Co, as others have mentioned.

My favorite online quilting stencil site is http://www.quiltingcreations.com/

I have ordered from them numerous times and they always come quickly. It does take a long time to look at their whole collection because it is huge! But they have broken it down to handy sections like "feather blocks" "feather borders" "background" "double wedding ring" and stuff like that.
