Look into using Freezer Paper!! I'll never use anything else. You don't sew through it, you fold it and sew right next to the fold! Use the template over and over. No tearing off.
There is a tute on the web that I'll see if I can find. I want to do a tute here for NY Beauty but no camera at present!
Here it is!

I cut my fabrics much closer to the size of the piece I need.
I posted a picture of mine on a recent posting about getting freezer paper in Australia.
I was going to suggest this exact same thing, ever since I found her tutorial I have used the freezer paper method too. It is the BEST!! So easy to get the fabric shape right, so easy to sew, and so easy to remove the freezer paper after (just peel it off, no stitches through it). I am using this method for most of my Dear Jane blocks and it is wonderful!!! I would highly suggest this method to everyone.
