How do I clean the stencil?
Clean the stencil immediately after use with warm water and soap or a stencil cleaner. Gently scrub with a soft brush or cloth and allow to dry completely before storing.
Can I use this stencil for fabric or other surfaces?
While primarily designed for paper and cardstock, this stencil can be used on other porous surfaces with appropriate fabric paints or mediums. Test on a scrap piece first.

Troubleshooting
Medium seeping under the stencil.
Ensure the stencil is lying flat against the surface. Use a light hand when applying mediums, and consider using a stencil spray adhesive or tape for a tighter seal. For pastes, use a palette knife held at a perpendicular angle to the surface.
Difficulty aligning layers.
Take advantage of the registration marks often present on layered stencils. Practice aligning the layers without medium first. Ensure the surface and stencil are stable.
Stencil is difficult to clean.
Clean the stencil immediately after use before the medium dries. For stubborn residue, soak briefly in warm, soapy water or use a dedicated stencil cleaner. A soft-bristled toothbrush can help dislodge dried product from intricate areas.
Warped or bent stencil.
Store stencils flat and away from heat or moisture. If slightly warped, try placing it under heavy books for a period to flatten it. Avoid folding or rolling.
