You're probably asking this because you need the template to be transparent. But, if not, try using cardboard. I get mine from the can separators in Fancy Feast cat food boxes. (I have 2 cats...they eat a lot.) The cardboard is just the right size and thickness and I can transfer the pattern by placing the cardboard under the pattern, then tracing the pattern with a ball point pen. This creates an indentation in the cardboard that I can easily see and cut out. If I accidentally lop off a slice of the template when cutting out my fabric, I just make a new template very quickly and easily.
