We don't have them here. Just googled to see what they are, and have never seen them before. They look awesome!

Can you order from Fons and Porter's website? I have seen them for sale at Jo Ann's and other online stores, as well.

I'm sure they can be ordered online.... but you need a credit card that has room on it to do that. ;-) LOL

I'll just have to manage the old fashioned way for now, and mark the centres. :-)

if you cut out the triangles in this file, they will work as well as any commercial template. they should line up properly with the points of any size triangle.

when you say setting out a square in a diamond, what is that? can you show a sketch? i looked at the template and couldn't figure it out, unless something there is folded.
