    What do you use to mark them? Thank you to everyone for your ideas and pictures.

    I, too, use lots of stencils. I've purchased all of mine in person at various places - quilt shows; Lancaster shops; JAF; LQS. I use a Bohin white 'lead' mechanical pencil on dark fabrics and usually just a #2 mechanical pencil for light fabrics. I do want to pick up some other colors of the Bohin leads but haven't made it to the further LQS that I know sells them. But I would highly recommend their products.

    I use a lot of stencils. Some I buy and some I have made from a plastic sheet. I have the 501 book and have taken some pattern from there. I like straight lines. I use a mechanical pencil and sometimes chalk for a chalkboard. I am going to look for a Bohin pencil. If I am making a scrap quilt with 2-1/2 squares I will just either x the squares or cross it. I like simple and easy.

    Sync - you do very nice hand quilting. I do some hand quilting also and I like the soft feel of hand quilted quilts.

    I have used stencils that I've purchased as well as just tracing around things I have lying around. Right now I'm quilting a baby quilt and tracing around spools and a can. I've used cookie cutters, a dog biscuit and just drawn wavy lines free hand. There's no limit.

    I have done stencils on the whole quilt but you have to have enough density of quilting to follow the directions on your batting and not just focus on the pattern of the lovely stencil.

    I use stencils a lot to quilt with. For dark fabrics I like the Clover white marking pen or white chalk wheel & for other colors of fabric I use the Frixion erasable pens or the Crayola Washable Markers.
