I think my problem was that I didn't press each one before I removed the templet. They were pretty smooth before I took them out.
I only use paper templates for epp, I once bought the plastic ones, but could not work with them. They seemed thick to me whereas the paper template is thin.....and I think that's how yours got puffy...your basting probably was loose, and the thickness of the plastic added to the looseness......as you said, they were pretty smooth...they should be tight against the template.....but following the advice given above will ease much of that fullness in. Did you watch any videos on YouTube before you started....there are quite a few of them, each one has some helpful hints on how to....I was inspired by Sue Daley's videos, along with a few others....don't be discouraged......you did a great job of joining them...no stitches are showing..that's the toughest part to do........keep us posted.....
