there are actually applique shapes called -cookie cutter shapes-
my great grandmother (who passed away 50 years ago) used them for appliques all the time- another great source for applique shapes are coloring books- and many childrens toys.
if it is trace-able- it is usable

and the best source for children's coloring books that have usable designs is the thrift store, used book stores, Goodwill and Salvation Army stores and yard sales. They just don't print children's coloring books with designs like they did in the olden days (that is 25 or so years ago).

Never thought about cookies cutters and imagine they will work great. I had another great idea for templates. At WalMart they have plastic templates for scrapbooking. I am going to buy a package @$7.99. One plate has several patterns and the ends have curves for edges.
