I saw a set on createforless.com.
Has anyone used these? The price was under $20 and looked to include all the shapes for the pieced rings style.

You can buy plastic in different thicknesses. Draw your pattern piece onto the plastic and cut around it with a scrollsaw or bandsaw and sand. Works nicely and not as expensive as buying the templates ready made. Most wood workers have one of these saws.

I have the book "Rings that Bind" by Cheryl Phillips and it comes with a set of acrylic templates. I can't remember if it has each and every small one, but it is an exceptional book. I made my daughter a QS DWR quilt using it. One of the patterns shows how to make a DWR using border print, which is what I did, and it turned out really nice, rather than sewing separate pieces. I also have the acrylic set of DWR templates from Judy Niemeyer of Quiltworx, but I have not used them yet.

Check on ebay, they have a variety of templates, just put in acrylic to find the correct ones.

I used the John Flynn templates and found them to be very accurate. Would defnitely give them 5 star rating!

Gay mentions quilting from the heartland. Years ago I watched a quilting show featuring Shar Jorgensen and the double wedding ring. She had thick plastic templates that you could cut around, using the smaller 28 mm. rotary cutter (I think that's the right size, it's smaller than the 45 mm. rotary blade). It was a long time ago, but I think I spent about $25 for the thick plastic templates, however, someone in my family decided that I no longer needed them and threw them out. I'm always amazed that certain people in my family figure that if I haven't used something in a certain amount of time, they are free to throw it out. I still get upset when I think about it, as I had really wanted to make the DWR quilt some day. Oh well, now he can just spend more money to get another set of templates.

Don't overlook quiltknit.com for just about every acrylic quilt template you can think of. That said, I have the set from Quilting From The Heartland.
