Templates
#3
I have a sheet of Plaid Simply Stencils, which I've used. It's quite thin, but I've not had any problems using it for quilting templates. And it was pretty cheap too. My husband also made me some 1.5", 2", & 3" templates out of masonite scraps he had.

I'm not looking for anything in particular, just wondering how everyone does it. I've used thick cardboard and just paper sometimes. The pattern I'm working on for a tote back calls for a corner cutting template and I just traced into onto printer paper and used that when I needed to cut the corners off. I want to use the template sheets they sell at joann but they are too thin I think. They used to sell a thicker brand but haven't carried it in a while.

The dollar stores sell thin flexible cutting board sheets. They work very well for templates. They are thicker than the grid type, but you can easily cut them with scissors. I also save the clear plastic lids from coffee cans and the big plastic ice cream tubs. :wink:

I have used exposed x-ray film but I usually buy template plastic at WalMart, Hobby lobby or just wherever I find it.
some is VERY heavy and some is fairly light.. I hand piece so I mark each piece of each block individually and add seam allowances, then cut each one out with scissors. I keep my templates in "sheet protectors" with the block design, piecing diagram, etc. I have a few notebooks of patterns.
