Taylored Expressions - Create in Quads Stencils

I don't have these stencils, but I do know that TE has wonderful customer service. They replaced a die several months after I had purchased it when I finally used it and discovered it wasn't cutting crisply in the middle.

Me too.
In the class it was perfectly lined up. Now I just wiggle it around and try to line it up as best I can.

Same for me. It doesn't perfectly line up so I eyeball it and it seems to work fine. 

I have bought a couple of her other layering stencils and they all line up fine.

I wonder if it is bc of all the cuts on the hexi one?  I love that stencil and the look of the backgrounds.  So adaptable for so many sentiments.  

thanks!  I will let her know    
Might have to make my 1st purchase.

It was in the March ‘22 C&C. I didn’t try mine yet (was in a sling during the event and just put the box aside!), but some people had problems with it. Going to FB to read a couple threads, some could line up the first two and the second two but not all four together. Others made a slight adjustment that fixed them. Still others said cutting the CS to 8 x 10.5 gave better results. (Hmm?) Taylor sent new ones to others who contacted her. 

Some of the cards on the C&C FB album look great, some are the barest bit off, can’t tell if it’s because of the user or stencils. 

There’s a chance that during manufacturing there was more than one little glitch, given different experiences. 

I’d still email Taylor and ask what her take was. She’s extremely customer focused. 

I find quite a few layering stencils I have from different companies don't line up with the registration marks. I always have to eyeball stencils, just in case. Specifically I remember my Quads hexagons didn't line up - I got them at C&C in March, too.

I'm pretty sure it was a known issue at C&C and they corrected it before the next production run. I remember talk about it here during the event.
I bought this set last month and it didn't give me any issues when I tried it out. 

It seems really expensive for 4 stencils and nothing else. I like their stuff but $33/month is out of my budget.

Do you mean knock-offs of them?

I apologize if I'm being naive or something. I'm just not sure how else that could be.

I completely agree joblackford .

Especially as many of the quad stencils seem so specific -- Christmas, Valentine's, even the celebrate on has one quarter with mortarboards. I don't need one of four cards to be graduation-specific.

The triple slim offerings seem more versatile to me from what I've seen.

I agree. I've done a couple of the subscriptions that have been recommended here, and found that I'm just too picky about what I like to commit to things without knowing what they are :/ I like some of TE products a LOT, but also find that much of the product line is too fru-fru (for lack of a better word) for my taste.

I got slightly tempted at the last minute but reminded myself of what I wrote above and didn't click through. It looks like they'll offer another chance in 3 months for the second 3 months of stencils. Maybe once I see the first sets I'll reconsider. Did anyone sign up?

I’m again in agreement @jpblackford. If the first 3 knock my socks off/give me serious regret, I’ll consider the second. And then probably worry that they won’t measure up to the first ones

It is a seriously inflexible set up!
