Bandanas are so thin, you'll want to stabilize them with iron on interfacing anyway. Why not just cut the interfacing to size, then do the cutting?

if you want to spend some money you can get the 20 1/2 inch omingrid ruler. joanns may have it now at the store, not just on line, but use a coupon. plexiglass sounds good though. and i'd trim all of the bandana's the same size. easier.

I just bought a 18" x 24" piece of template plastic at Hobby Lobby for $3.39.

With all the reports on how reasonable plexiglass is, I will have to let my friend know that she just got ripped off BIG TIME!
Bummer!
She went to the glass shop in town.
Never thought about Home Depot.

I went to Wal Mart and purchased the heaviest plastic yard stuff, it is found with the plastic table cover stuff and I got a half yard so Ill be in the see thru pattern busines for awhile.. It can be measured and cut any size you need and stored flat anywhere. I write on the plastic the size so it is easy to read and remember what Im looking for....Good luck

I would use a 12" square quilt ruler. You can use it for sized up to 12-1/2.

Walmart even has them.

What great ideas. I knew all I needed to do was ask. Thank you so much for all of them. I will look into them and see what I can do.
