Step 2Weigh down and spray...
once you have a stencil you want to try, find a nice sheltered spot (I use the basement for 1 or 2 offs, if you are going to spray for a while, go outside!), smooth out folds in the fabric you want to spray, weigh down the stencil with 6 dollars worth of quarters, hammer head, stones, random tools, scrap wood, etc.
As long as you spray over your stencil in a gesture that's like petting it down with your hand you can keep nice sharp detail. Don't rush to force out a super dark spray the first time. You can hit it light, let it set, and spray onto that. Repeat as you need. I like one light hit on the fabric so it's softer looking and doesn't have too much junk hanging out on me.

I've found that rubber cement works really well for holding down the stencil. It makes a really crisp outline, it's really easy to pull the stencil off when you're done, and the glue rubs right off the fabric.
