I copied 9-10 templates from the 1st Quilting Quickly mag. that were done by MSQC. Used a glue stick to put them on Priority Mail envelopes & took them to a local glass shop (hardware store sent me there). Got all of them done in plexi glass for around $40.00. Now I'll be able to use my cutter & not worry about cutting the template. Also much less $$ in the long run than buying each one.

I have used these plastic binder dividers for templates, if you want to trace around them. They work great!

You're probably asking this because you need the template to be transparent. But, if not, try using cardboard. I get mine from the can separators in Fancy Feast cat food boxes. (I have 2 cats...they eat a lot.) The cardboard is just the right size and thickness and I can transfer the pattern by placing the cardboard under the pattern, then tracing the pattern with a ball point pen. This creates an indentation in the cardboard that I can easily see and cut out. If I accidentally lop off a slice of the template when cutting out my fabric, I just make a new template very quickly and easily.
