From Chapter Three:
Cindy Needham showcases her Ultimate Stencil, which allows you to do circular designs or square designs fairly easily. Then, Nancy Arseneault shows how she takes a picture of a full quilt top, then takes a picture of the a smaller section of the top and turns it black and white (to drop out distracting color) so you can see where to put your quilt design.
