i will say i probably own a good hundred or more templates- use them alot...would be lost without them
Wow, how long have you been quilting? I nabbed a free quilting book at an ASG retreat that has templates. The book is ver cool, reminds me of a subscription where you get new cards every month and keep adding to it. The Templates are thin plastic. There is some leftover plastic on some pages, so I made templates with them, for example I made a leaf template for my last quilt.

Good question, it's hard to cut and cracks easily.
