Test anything you use ahead of time. I tried to mark the spines of freehand feathers once: JUST the spines. I used a blue chalk pencil. They quilted RIGHT into the quilt. I think the owner can still see them, but not as much. Test Test TEST!

Why call her an idiot? I used to have a friend/neighbor and we shared everything. If one got a template we cut those lines and we each got a template. All you need is the lines, either the ones on the outside of the template or the ones on the inside of the template. Is called thrifty, not idiot. I like the one from the inside because it makes it easier to place it and more accurate location. There is always more than one way to use everything and not because she uses it different than most, it means she is an idiot. Let's be a little open minded here.

I am sorry I stepped on your toes, Maria. Didn't mean to call you an idiot. I have just never heard of anyone doing that since it will ruin your template in most cases. The one she was asking about would be ok since it is just a simple shape, but most have shapes within shapes and you would lose that if you cut it apart. Apologies.
