I am fairly new to quilting. Just finishing my second quilt (a lap quilt I'm making for our motorhome). My first was a baby quilt I made last year for our new granddaughter. It turned out okay if you don't look too close. On this second quilt, I just have the quilting to do on the border (I'm machine quilting), and I want to find a template that's not too hard. ;)

Any ideas on where I can find some, online or otherwise?

Thanks, and I look forward to chatting with you all!!

Hi, Welcome to this board, Watkins Glen is not far from me although i live in Pa. just South of Binghamton. You can purchase a roll of paper with a border design on it that you lay on the quilt (it is sticky on the back) an quilt thru that. I have used it a couple of times to machine quilt the border and it worked well. A friend of mine frequently comes to the quilt shop in your town. marge

Welcome from outside Binghamton! I love the quilt store in Watkins Glen - O'Susanah's. My parents live in Penn Yan so I stop every time I go through. Glad you joined us.

welcome from Illinois. If you look in the back of your quilting mags there's places that you can order stick on patterns for quilting. I think you just stick them on, sew and then take them off. If you live anywhere near an Amish settlement, they have wonderful quilting templates.

Welcome from another New Yorker, just east of Syracuse.

welcome, we're almost neighbors! I'm from Auburn.
I have often picked out a easy pattern and then trace it on paper, pin to the quilt and then follow the lines. I use pattern tracing paper from Connecting threads or exam. room paper. Also have heard of people using Press and Seal. Instead of tracing you can also sew through a stack of papers (sew without thread in the machine) but my eyes aren't good enough to see those lines.

To answer your question, do you have a JoAnn's near you? They sell stencils and my store has a very comprehensive selection of books for quilting.
