Place a stencil where you want the design, trace it with a fabric marking pencil, lift the stencil, and stitch along the marks. Each line on the stencil is a row of dashed slots, so the traced marks come out as dashes that show where each stitch and each gap falls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first set, Sylvia Pippen's \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sashiko-stencils-traditional-collection-by-sylvia-pippen-for-c-t-publishing\"\u003eSashiko Stencils, Traditional Collection\u003c\/a\u003e, holds nine other designs in the same format, and her \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sashiko-handy-pocket-guide-by-sylvia-pippen-for-c-t-publishing\"\u003eSashiko Handy Pocket Guide\u003c\/a\u003e covers supplies, marking, and stitching, with 27 designs.
