    If these prior suggestions don't help, contact a drafting supply company. If you have an architect's supply house nearby (or check the web), you should be able to get plenty of things we quilters use: grid paper in larger sizes for drafting blocks; template plastic; accurate plexiglass triangles/squares/rulers; compasses; rulers; you name it! That's where I get my very large sheets of grid paper for accurate drafting of my own blocks/templates. Then I only need to use the template plastic if I can't rotary cut what I need.

    HTH,

    Here's one more to check out. They sell mylar (template plastic) by the foot in many widths and thicknesses (most quilting stencils are 11 mil thick) so you can pick and choose. http://www.stencilease.com/db/display.asp?input=1989 I also found a good source of info for making your own stencils, in case you haven't done it before. http://home.howstuffworks.com/home-i...o-stencil5.htm Have fun!

    I use file folders, sometimes I have to tape them together to make them large enough, they may be floppy at the "fold", but it works. Don't forget to leave some of the points of the stencil in tact.

    don;t know of a web site.
    But, I went to an art supply store when I needed a larger than 8" X 12" piece of "templet" plastic.
