Reply to "INPUT NEEDED: What Types of Stencils Are Your Favorites?"

I agree with previous comments on quality, and for me that is the thickness of the stencil itself. I have been very disappointed with quite a few of the stencils out there, in that they are very thin, flimsy plastic. It makes it difficult to not only airbrush with them, they "bend" (no matter what technique you use to "hold' them), not giving clean lines or out of shape pattern. As for use with RI smaller pieces of the stencil lift and its hard to get nice stencil pattern (thickness) when the plastic is so thin. I find the stencils I make myself using template plastic (from the quilting/patchwork section at craft stores) makes a much better stencil.

I commented on facebook I like the idea of border & frame stencils, and I am sure anything you have a hand in design will be exquisite, Julia.
One of the biggest things that I find with the current stencils on the market are that they all are very geometric in design (the same cut-out in a grid on the stencil) and very few organic, non structured designs. For example floral designs (and not a flower in a grid over the stencil, more like a rambling rose garden pattern). I also love the idea of a filigree one as suggested by HoneyCat Cookies
Very interested to see where this takes you!
