I also love the Mylar templates from Brandy's. I've been EPPing for 5 years and have been teaching EPP for 2 years. I have templates in 3 hexagon sizes and 2 60* diamond sizes. I love how my needle glides against the Mylar when basting, and also when whip stitching the pieces together. They make the most satisfying little 'pop' sound when you pull them out. My Mylar pieces have made 5 large quilts and numerous class projects and are all as good as new.
