i scan it into the computer and i duplicate the image X number of times to fill a 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.
i cut freezer paper down to letter size and put it in the printer and print the template out.
then i iron that to the fabric and i cut the shapes out - either by rotary or scissors which ever is easier.

I have my persnickety perfectionist husband cut the pieces from masonite. He then uses a Braille labeler to make the labels for the pieces. I keep them stored in little tins that breath mints come in, also labeled. That way, I can find them.
I have a set of lazer cut quilting shapes, cut out of hard, thick and clear plastic. They have sandpaper dots on the backs to keep them from sliding. If the angles and size is correct, I just get that piece out. He keeps a master list of all the pieces I have so we don't mix things up too bad. My triangles are all in the same box, so are my squares, and then my rectangles. Appliques are kept together... you get the idea.

I work for an Attorney and we get a lot of records sent to us that come bound in a folder-type of thing with a clear plastic front. Usually these have some kind of printing with the name of the copy service on it. So I will use that sometimes.
Klue, I love your idea, too! I use a lot of freezer paper so this is another good use for that "tool".
