I just got back from my local Hardware store which made me 2 acrylic templates to perfect specifications. I just had to sand the edges a little bit with my nail file. I'm working on one of Derek Lockwoods star quilts and didn't like the idea of buying his templates in addition to the pattern. I also don't like making my own templates from the flimsy plastic that you can buy from the store. So, $5.00 later, I'm good to go!!!!! Happy Quilting.

Awesome. What's the difference between acrylic & plexiglass?

suebee

do you have pics of your templates? thanks

I've had my local glass shop do this for me out of plexiglass. Works well! and usually cheaper than the ready made templates

What a great idea. I never thought of doing that.

You're lucky. I've asked at Home Depot and here in my town and noone will do that.

a sheet metal shop will cut them too, I work at one and my brother has a glass co, I have tons of templates

Have you ever used the heavier acrylic nail files in your sewing room - OPI has some great ones that I just love
