Sewing Mends The Soul Stencil

Sewing Mends The Soul Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

Whether you are crafty, or you just need to fix that ripped seem in your t-shirt, sewing is an indispensable skill to have. However, what is a skill everyone should be practiced in, there are those people who absolutely love sewing. They know their way around a sewing machine and can make anything under the sun. It is for these people that we created our Sewing Mends The Soul stencil. This stencil has the words “Sewing mends the soul” surrounding a beautiful, ornate sewing machine. It's seriously such a fun design, it might turn the sewer in your life into a stenciling fiend. You can create a beautiful piece of art for the person who sews, something they can hang on the wall of their sewing room. Or get them to make a t-shirt and paint this design on it. No matter what you choose to do, be sure to use the right paint for the medium. This way, you can paint on any surface, such as walls and windows (think sewing supply store), fabric, wood, metal, canvas, plastic, and more. Of course, we also offer the stencil in the following range of sizes so you will be sure to find the right size for your project: 5” x 6” 5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” When it comes time to paint, just secure the stencil and go to it. You can be finished painting before the sewer is finished a single seem (or two). Then wash the stencil and store it away in a safe place until you or someone you know needs it again. It's such a fun stencil, we know you'll use it more than once.

Here are some advantages of using Mylar stencil material:

• FLEXIBLE: Mylar can wrap around cylinders and uneven or irregular surfaces, and can be rolled for shipping and storage.
• EASY TO CLEAN: Our Mylar is solvent proof, so cleaning up paint or ink is quick and simple.
• REUSABLE: Our stencils are built to withstand normal painting wear and tear, and keeping your stencil template clean is the best way to ensure a longer life.
• DURABLE: Mylar sheets are reputably the strongest type of stencil material, and maintains durability without compromising the pliable structure.

7.5 MIL MYLAR STENCIL MATERIAL

• 7.5 Mil (0.19 mm) thickness
• Very flexible for tight curves and cylinder shapes
• Recommended for fine detailed craft stencils and smaller stencils
• Reusable as long as they are kept clean and well maintained

WHY DO WE RECOMMEND MYLAR?

As mentioned before, the best way to achieve a perfectly painted stencil with a very nice paint edge is to use a stencil material that is as thin as possible for your project. At the same time, you also want a material that wont absorb paint or any liquid because this will cause the stencil to deteriorate. A stencil made from paper, cardstock or paperboard will become saturated with paint or ink rather quickly, and this causes a crusty, uneven edge that can never be removed.

Another option for stencils, and one that quickly comes to mind when we discuss durability, is metal stencils. While these thick, unbendable stencils do have their place for some industrial applications where paint overspray and running doesnt quite matter as much, they can be very expensive and heavy to ship.

There are some other plastics that are used for stencil manufacturing, but these are typically cut with a die cutter so there is a limited amount of detail that can be achieved. And because this older, traditional process takes so much work and expense to set up for each stencil design, the minimum are often in the 1000s.
