Bought a $45 stencil kit for my weekly spreads and instantly regretted it

The lines were so thick they bled through three pages of my Leuchtturm and the alignment was off by like 2mm on every single one. Has anyone found stencils that actually fit standard dot grid spacing?

Dude that sucks so bad. $45 for something that can't even line up right is a total rip off. Honestly I've found that most of those premade stencil kits are just garbage - they're made for generic notebooks not the specific dot grid stuff. I'd try cutting your own from a sheet of plastic or even just using a ruler and a fine liner for a while until you find something better. The bleed through three pages is especially brutal, like now youre stuck with ghost lines forever. For standard dot grids you really gotta check reviews from people who actually use the same notebook brand as you.

Honestly I always figured stencils were foolproof but this post has me rethinking that completely.
