Acrylic Stencil Set — 12 Common Shapes for Quilting, English Paper Piecing, and Appliqué What this set does for you Provides accurate, repeatable shapes for stars, flowers, lanterns, novas, kaleidoscopes and more — 12 of the most common shapes in one kit. Saves time and reduces waste by giving a reliable guide for marking and cutting fabric. Includes a 3/8" seam allowance on each stencil, so pieces fit together consistently for English paper piecing and traditional quilting. Key features and benefits Clear acrylic construction: see fabric under the stencil for precise placement and alignment. Ready-to-use seam allowance: each shape already includes a 3/8" seam allowance to match English paper piecing requirements. Dual-use guidance: use the stencils as a marking guide with a fabric marker or place the stencil and use a rotary cutter to cut the fabric to shape. Durable and reusable: acrylic stencils maintain their shape during repeated use and are easy to clean. Fine-cut capability: designed to support precise cutting for crisp patchwork edges. How it solves common problems Eliminates guesswork about seam allowance and shape matching, reducing trimming and rework. Makes complex shapes (novas, kaleidoscopes, lanterns) quicker and more consistent across multiple repeats. Works with both marking and cutting workflows so you can choose the method that fits your process. Practical use scenarios English paper piecing: trace and cut multiple templates with the included 3/8" seam allowance to speed up assembly of star and flower blocks. Quilt block construction: use the stencils to accurately cut pieces for nova and kaleidoscope designs, ensuring consistent block alignment. Appliqué and home decor: mark or cut lanterns and floral motifs for pillows, table runners, or small craft projects. What to expect in use Place the clear acrylic stencil over the fabric, mark the outline with a fabric marker for templates, or hold the stencil in place and use a rotary cutter to cut around the shape. Seam allowance is included (3/8"), so trimmed pieces will sew together correctly for English paper piecing and similar techniques.
