Hi
I started my first quilting class in June this year.
I live just of Toowoomba in Q'ld
Am loving my Monday night classes with the girls. Have made a cot sized quilt & have started a Bargello for my Mum's 80th & am also doing a block of the month as well
I am about to start looking for acrylic templates as they can come in handy. If anyone has any suggestions on the best place to get them I would appreciate it

Welcome!

Hello and welcome from Ontario.

Marti Michel has wonderful sets of templates that I like.

For simple shapes like squares and rectangles in various sizes I have my local glass shop guy cut them in about 1/4" thickness plastic. I STRESS accuracy.

I bought a kit years ago, I think it was made by John Flynn's company, to make my own. It was linoleum like material. I don't know if he still sells it.
I was only able to make simple straight line shapes - and my glass guy does it better.
