Templates
I don't suppose I am the first to think of this, but just in case.... When I make paper templates for applique I then laminate them and cut out.This preserves them for longer and they can be used so many more times.Thanks for the tips and patterns from all you lovely people over the last few years. Also for the contact through this forum, giving me a creative lift since my move. I am now making new friends and have met another two ladies interested in getting together to quilt and share ideas, I no longer drive due to disability but I know you have to get out there and make the effort and with a lovely husband always willing to ferry me around it makes it easier.Love Letty.

Hello, Letty! I can't remember the last time I made a template! Once upon a time I would have loved your laminating tip! I am so glad you are finding others to do quilty things with. When we moved 4 years ago I was excited about finding new quilting friends, too. I did find them. I also found this forum, too! I have made friends here and quilt online with them. I have also recently 'discovered' mystery quilts that I have been joining using fabrics from my stash. I loved hearing you have a willing driver since you no longer drive. It is good to meet you and I will look for you again! Judith

Thanks for the info. I had no idea one could be so affordable. Guess I don't get out enough. LOL

I use the 2/$1.00 plastic chopping mats at the dollar store. I can get quite a few templates from one and they last a very long time. If I write directions on the pieces, I put a little piece of scotch tape over the writing to keep it from being smudged or rubbed off.

Becky, I'm with you! I buy the chopping mats 2/$1 at the dollar store, too, and they are perfect for template use. I also find the mats useful for the bottoms of wire storage drawers to keep small items from falling through. Funny thing, I don't think I've ever used those mats for chopping, although they work well for measuring dry baking ingredients onto, then using as a "funnel" to add to the mixer! LOL
