You mean like doodling/faux stitching? I just eyeball it....I wouldn't call it perfect, but most of the time it works good enough. ;)

I have a template...it is thin plastic and has dots, dashes and lines. I sometimes just freehand it, but am rarely happy with how that turns out! LOL

I'm a freehander myself but they never turn out perfect - far from it - I thought about maybe getting a 'sew easy' and not pressing through so I had a guide too...

I think I have a template- don't usually remember so I don't usually use them!
I'm terrible at the eyeballing thing.

could also be rub ons! I had some I used that had dashes, dots.

I usually just freehand what ever I do if I don't have any rubons.

I will sometimes use my centering ruler, or a template
but usually it's freehand
