Generally, in the U. S., anyway, personal checks do not have stubs. 
When business checks do have stubs, it is for the payee, not for the
payor.  The payor has all the information resident in his data file, and
no data is lost when there is no stub.

If you want to use a blank check form that has a stub, then you need to
put those fields into your custom format, and as I recall, that is
possible, and here is the detail information on how to do that.
