Quilting with Stencils

[@lilianesklenarik4119]

The Quilter's Assistant is my FAVORITE Tool. I use it all the time and refer it to friends often!

[@kerryl4031]

You have a beautiful quilt there. Not used stencils yet, I think I'd use the disappearing pen though. Nice to be able to use your grandmother's stencils. Thank you ladies.

This transfer paper is awesome, I’ve used parchment paper but you can’t see through it like you can with yours. I’m on the hunt now. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️🙂 22:48

Fun stencil idea, now I need to try it too!!

[@juliechao3638]

Enjoying the replay ❤

[@ellengordon4468]

I've used Golden Threads paper for years for quilting on my domestic machine. The biggest thing to remember is to use a permanent pen to trace the stencil so you don't pick up any ink or pencil with light thread.

[@HandiQuilter]

Great tip!

[@susanmei9980]

I was told NOT to use permanent ink bc the needle can transfer it to the quilt and it may not wash out! 😬

[@ellengordon4468]

@@susanmei9980 I have used blue pigma pens for almost 30 years without an issue.

[@susanmei9980]

@@ellengordon4468 I just remembered: they recommended using the blue water erasable pen to trace on the paper. That way, if the ink does transfer it will wash out.

I love the Pounce produce and use the blue or pink chalk on the white or lighter fabrics.

[@scottydog6539]

Thank you ladies. I have rulers for my Sweet 16 sit down machine.

[@131dyana]

Thank you very much.

[@roxannefisher5021]

Very helpful! Thanks

[@joanhannes8412]

Have you ever added cinnamon to white pounce powder?

[@HandiQuilter]

I haven't tried that before.

[@brigittehemeleers7285]

If you have ProStitcher could you record your stitch path of the stencil and then save it for future use?

[@HandiQuilter]

YES!!!! You might want to take it into Designer to tidy it up a little though!

[@betseyryan6360]

How do i find other videos showing how the rest of the quilt was quilted ie. the fill around the stencil, the lone star, and the center HST background?

[@HandiQuilter]

This particular quilt was used in several videos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6HNdXWfq5WUjKs kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4eYdmebbpp6kLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5mzZIGKnpqNoKM There will be a microquilting video hopefully this week. As for the center of the lonestar, I am still debating on what to do with that!! I am thinking maybe a feathers video down the road???

Bravos ❤

[@happytraveller8953]

Hey Ms.Whitney--do you shorten your stitch length to make it easier to tear off the paper?? Thanks.

[@HandiQuilter]

I did not change my stitch length. I am pretty sure I did 12spi. You could definitely give that a try though!

[@suehunt5896]

Beautiful. What is the name of the paper and where do you get it?

[@HandiQuilter]

It is Golden Threads paper and is available at Handi Quilter or your local retailer. handiquilter.com/product/golden-threads-quilting-paper/

[@pamelaburch4484]

Do you ever use the blue pounce?

[@HandiQuilter]

I try to avoid it personally. I have heard some scary stories and don't want to risk it not coming out of my quilt. -Kristina

[@JaseEide]

Would appreciate more information/detail on the backing. It seems to be pieced

[@HandiQuilter]

Yes, it is pieced using the remaining fabric.

[@lesliex7894]

Could you use tissue paper the same way?

[@HandiQuilter]

Give it a try!! It might work.
