Default Using templates.....need some help!

I have never used templates printed from a pattern before. I fell in love with Don’s Dizzy Geese, here, From Don-sorry, I Messed Up-isewman
And I ordered the book. This is a practice block made from scraps. I have Christmas Gathering fabrics and hope to make a quilt for my DIL. There are 3 pieces that are cut using templates-the “tri rec star points” in the center have 3 Template cut pieces in them. My points are off on 2 sets of the pointsin the center, and I assume it was due to cutting from the paper template. How do you get consistant results? I don’t want to invest time and money into getting acrylic templates cut, as I will make this quilt once, and probably never again. But, if that’s the best way to cut these pieces, guess I will need to try to accomplish that. I wish the pattern stated the size each block should be trimmed to-this is a 17 1/2” unfinished block. We live in a rural area...and today we are iced-in! Izzit almost summer????
