I use these flexible cutting mats from the kitchen aisle at my $ store. They give me a nice 15 inch by 11 inch sheet of opaque plastic that I can cut with my scissors.

    Thanks for the tip. I'm getting ready to cut some templates, I'll pick those up today.

    Don't you find it too thin and too flexible to cut around?

    When using these thin templates I usually DRAW around them then freehand cut the fabric shapes out.
