Using Paper Quilting Stencils on a Longarm Machine? Let Leah Day show you how!
Yes, you can quilt with Paper Stencils on a longarm machine on a frame! I created Paper Quilting Stencils for quilting on a home machine or sit down longarm, but have found this works on a quilting frame too. Quilting on a line gives you something to see and aim for, even if you can't hit the line perfectly. This saves time and results in a soft, consistently quilted quilt.
