Sashiko Stencil, 8" x 8" "Cross Flower" white thread The package contains8" X 8" Sashiko Stencil The stencil is made of a composite fibre that is strong, washable, bendable, & not easy to tear (I tried, it doesn't tear although it is thin and has a 'paper y plastic fibre feel). You can use almost any transfer pen or pencil with these, unlike the thick acrylic plastic stencils which need a long thin tip to reach the fabric. Enjoy your stitching!
