1 - What type of paper do you use?
2 - Do you make your own templetes/designs?
3 - How do you make the half circles with the triangles?
4 - Did you take a class first or just dive right in?
5 - Do you just make a master design and then photocopy it?
1. I use both regular paper for the computer printer and when I've made larger patterns that don't fit in the printer I've used tracing paper. You can also put tracing paper thru your printer. I like using tracing paper because it tears away easier than white paper.
2. I've made my own designs as well as copied some out of a book/magazine.
3. I don't know.
4. I had a book which explained what to do.
5. If I'm shrinking or enlarging a design, then I will keep one as a master. Write on it to make sure you don't use it. You'll always need more copies than you think.
