A lot of quilters wouldn't thank you for that! But I like it and use it all the time, thank you!
Last night I was scanning through a quilt book I had bought a few years back and Lo & Behold they did the same thing with template plastic and applique shapes! Still, judging by the replies, I'm glad I "reminded" us.

So I thought I would try sewing it from the outside in the shoulder seam. My thread matched and I thought no one would know. Worked beautifully.

I believe you. I was using EQ and designed a simple quilt using a couple of the basic blocks and used the colors that were in the basic color library. Imagine my surprise when I found the same quilt in the same colors in a magazine. If I had made the quilt and swore it was my design I could have been accused of copyright violation because someone had the same quilt pattern published.

I have a set of pressing bars that are strips of nylon that were designed for making flower stems and such for applique and stained glass quilts. The card they came on says "W.H. Collins Co, Whippany, NJ" I bought them in a quilt store at least a dozen years ago - maybe 15 or more years ago, now that I think of it. The idea has been floating around a long time, and I don't think anyone can accuse anyone else of infringing. It's sort of obvious as you iron things with a ruler nearby that there are times it would be great to be able to fold right over that shape and iron a crease.
