    There are also Bloc-loc acrylic templates for cutting and then a template for use after sewing the pieces to square the blocks up. I have just finished 382 4" blocks with little frustration. They have templates in various sizes.

    I am about to make one using the Bloc-loc 6" template. You can get a perfect block at every curve...love their stuff!!!! Also, the curvemaster foot helps if you are nervous about easing it to fit! They adapt to about any machine.

    I used a ruler called an Easy Circle Cut by Sharon Hultgren with slots in it for the correct size. Used with a small rotary cutter, it was a perfect solution. I cut more accurately with slots to guide my cutter.

    I love the drunkard path and am making one now. I hand piece mine. I find it very relaxing.I mark my pattern off on a piece of poster board or cereal box or any other card board that is thin, yet sturdy. I cut out the template and begin marking my pieces. Usually I con my DH into cutting them for me. But, he doesn't mind. Its a good job to have while watching tv. While he is cutting, I beginning sewing. You just start at one side and work your way around. No pulling or stretching and it generally comes out just fine.
    Be the best that you can be at everything you do.

    Elise' Backporch Designs has various sizes. I have a set with the block finishing at 8" and also a set with block finishing at 7-1/2". The larger blocks are easy to sew. I usually cut a tiny notch in the center of each piece, pin that point and sew. Since I do a lot of charity quilts I can do many blocks quickly.
