Thanks to everyone's posts on here and in blogland for tutorials and tips on making twisters. I'm really excited by them.

ok I've done some drawing and its a bit difficult as I only have template paper in inches and its 1/4 inch not smaller... but I think if you want to design your own twister template you need to mark the measurements and join up the lines.

So mark top side left to bottom side right and top edge right to bottom edge left (look at the above pic might be easier ) )

for the 8" tool 2 3/8 inches in ----- uses 10" charm and 6" border (what i've found in blogland, not sure it's correct)

EDITED am confused now as have just found an old post on here that says 8" tool should be 1 3/4 in... so perhaps my follow line out method doesn't work :O(

for the 3 1/2" tool 1 inch in ----- uses 5" charm and 3" border
for the 2 1/4" tool 5/8 inch in ---- uses 31/2" charm no idea for border, I'm estimating its 1 3/4"
and for the 1 1/2" tool 7/16th inch in -- uses 21/2" charm and Im estimating a 1" border

hth and i'm off to chop up my 5" charms after finishing my first practice piece this morning
