No, those clamshell templates are for quilting with a longarm machine. You wouldn't be able to use them with a domestic unless you had it mounted on a frame but even then they are made for the hopping foot of a LA to ride next to them. You may be able to find a clamshell stencil at Joannes that you would use to premark the quilt then follow the marked lines.
