    I think this question is for a specific project. You can post it at the bottom of the project for better answers.

    Yes, that sounds right , you want the contrast of colors to show the design of pace .

    The color you put down first will be the color of the lace on your project, the second color will cover the rest of the project . Good luck !

    P.S. I saw a cool tutorial on this site , they put mini blinds on the floor , in the closed position and put a lace tablecloth over it and spray painted over it . Thought it was a cool way to change a plain mini blind into something special !

    Yes, generally that's what you do. Unless you like the original color and your top coat will contrast enough.

    Yes, the background needs to be painted and dried first. Just add a coat of a poly spray if the background is water based. Then lay the stencils down and use a stipple brush to apply the paint. It may take a few sheets of printer paper, but block off the part of the table around the stencil. This will give you a place to rest your arm while you are stenciling, as well as protecting the table from splatters that can happen sometimes when stippling. Please photograph your project from beginning to end. Best wishes! ☺️
