template jumble
#12
I use a wallmount lid holder that I found at a thrift store. It's still awkward because some of the templates are so long & clumsy. So I may go to just using the hooks on a pegboard as many of you seem to do so they'll lie flat.

I have a huge binder. I put loose patterns and templates in large Ziploc bags and punch holes in them and file them in the binder with a picture on the front of each one.

I have several plastic templates and a few paper ones that I drew, I punch holes with a three ring punch and file them in a binder. I intended to organize them using some sort of system, but mostly I just stick them in the binder on top. I've discovered that one advantage is that I can easily see which ones I use most--they stay on top. That allows me to flip through the others every once in a while or when I want something "new." The small ones were a problem flopping around and tearing but now I slip them into sleeve protectors. Works really well for me.

I have put mine in a large manilla envelopes or the freebie from the post office. On the outside on the envelope, write as much information that you want (book or magazine that it came from and I like to put the date that I made the templates...older ones might need a second look.) and on the inside with the templates, a paper copy of the templates and a picture of block or quilt that the templates make.

For the templates without holes, drill them. Very easy to do and doesn't hurt templates.
