Has anyone used the stencils? Are they any good?

They are ok. The plastic is just pretty flimsy so have to be careful about bending them or them not being flush against your face then its like coloring out of the lines haha

The stecils are useless. They don't work but the rest is really good. I recommend the product but the stencils are not woth using

Its very nice. Clean stencil. Clear. Ive had 0 problems with this machine and ive ran hundreds and hundreds of images thru it

hmmm, not really sure! I know it isn't as 'weatherproof' as touted - the colors ran and paper deteriorated when I posted 'lost cat' pictures on poles. If you are using inside with minimal water I don't see much reason why stencils wouldn't work... good luck!

I ones I used had a transparent background. I printed them using black lettering & had absolutely no problems with using them on colors. I transferred onto canvas material of four different colors & had no problems with any of the colors.

I have not. However, I don't think they would be good for that. The tips are ball point and the ink isn't very thick. But idk for sure.

They seem great to me. I store/display lots of art in these portfolios and have never thought they were "foggy" or whatever. My art is mostly black and white pen/ink pieces.

I have only good things to say about these backgrounds. I have used them for many portraits and they look great. I did find that you have to pay attention to the size of inserted image with respect to the objects in the background. I also found their instructions clearer and easier to understand the the ones in the Photoshop manual.

yes, stencils come with the set but they are the kind with adhesive on the back. If you are careful you can get a few uses out of them.

They are good for coloring and shading and they sharpen well. They have nice thick leads and bold colors. I have used Prismacolors before and loved them!

I use them on paper and labels, but have not tried them on anything else. They have been terrific for my needs, but think they might not be too successful on other surfaces. Cheers, Sydney

I was wondering the same thing Stephanie. I found some tutorial videos on Youtube about cutting stencils from plastic and the heat tool she uses is the same brand, but I'm not sure which one. I wondered if this one would work. It seems like if it does it may be the most versatile since I want to use the plastic binder pages like she does in her tutorial, and then may try to make some from posterboard as well. I wonder if it works on that too.

I use this material with the Silouette cameo to do stencils of all kinds- letters, numbers, patterns etc. it works good but if using the same machine the blades don't seem to last long for cutting. Also they are reusable if you are careful. I put adhesive spray on the back of mine so after about 4 times they start to get a little rough looking but if you don't you should get many uses as long as you wash after use.

I usually embroider on them, but I did actually do fabric painting on one to see how it worked, and it seemed to work pretty well. I always wash and iron them first before doing anything with them.

Yes they are good for coloring; easy to work with. Color selection is very nice as well.

That is just a paper insert so you can better see the shape. The actual stencils are plastic.
