How To Use Acrylic Templates with Carolyn Forster
Quilting Equipment • Educational, G, 11-Aug-2022
In this comprehensive workshop Carolyn describes the advantages of the acrylic template.
The templates are transparent with seam markings and allowances. Basically simplifying the process of fussy cutting when placing your fabric.
Using the acrylic template to cut odd sized and shaped patchwork pieces markedly improves your piecing.
Carolyn highlights how the template will support the cutting and drawing of crisp lines in order to keep everything accurate. Using a rotating cutting mat, a propelling pencil and a 28mm rotary cutter she shows how simple the process can be.
These tips and techniques will get us all reaching for acrylic templates.
