several years ago it was the trend to have everything stenciled and they bought out a magazine in hte UK that had stencils in it for you to collect each week, this is did and ended up with a large amount, my friend wanted a teddy applique that looked like it was walking across a cover and siting down as well. but to get each seperate stencil was a bit costly plus it was far too small forher needs. suddenly i rememberd the book of stencils and dragged it out.

ther he was a seperate sectioned teddy that would allow you to place his arms head or legs in any position you wanted it to be. now all we had to do was scan and print so that we had lots to sew onto the fabic. plus by useing the scanner we could make Daddy bear a mommy bear and a baby bear, so take another look at those old stencils who knows what gem you will find.
hope this will help you annie in the uk
