Clipping Stencil Help!!!

[welsh_mare]

Sorry I did post a few days ago with no replies so thought I would try again and hope some of you wonderful people can help me

(although my husband says there is no help for me!!!)

I have just bought a Moody Mare stencil, and before I clip was wondering do you clip on to one side of bottom or both?, or individual preference?, I would think both so can be seen from both sides but would that just be mean to let the whole world know

Anyone tried a stencil before and know how long it takes?, with 2 kids, 4 dogs and one of those in pup, 2 ponies, a horse and a husband working away time management is very important

Thanks in advance for any replies, would offer roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings but taking kids out for lunch to have an afternoon off from cooking , so will have to think of something else!.

In regards to which side, it's up to you. I normally do both sides.
It normally takes me 20-35mins to do one, but I normally do the stencil first then clip the rest off the next day.

I have never used a stencil but do freehand various things, stars, bows, tribal patterns etc. I'm usually a symmetry freak (due to OCD) but think it is personal preference with this sort of thing. I particularly like the stencil on the opposite side to the mane if that helps!

I do the stencil first then the rest - if you are full clipping leave at least 2.5 hours if you have a stencil to do too.
