Quilting Stencils

« on: June 03, 2012 10:59:23 AM »

Hi there,

I am making my first quilt, and am ready to start the actual quilting process, I picked up some quilting stencils, but I am wondering if they are for machine quilting or if I should do them by hand. I have a butterfly stencil, a small heart border stencil, and a iris stencil. There are some tiny curves in them so I have no idea what would be best to do here.

Thanks in advance for any help!

-Christine

Hello! You should be able to use the stencils for either hand or machine work. If you are worried about the tight curves, do a swatch with some scraps for practice. The only thing I can think of that might trip you up is if you are not free motion quilting then a lot of curves might be a pain if the quilt is large since you will be turning the quilt a lot.
