They are sure heavy for as thin as they appear. Make great weights!
I used to hand piece a lot in Alaska and even taught it in the villages, but here in OK I rarely teach and when I do you can bet it is NOT going to be hand piecing!
I suppose they could be used for regular piecing, these are for making 12" blocks!
Could any of you please share some pictures of these metal templates? I have never seen one ever. thanksOriginally Posted by jaciqltznok

I wouldn't get rid of them....they are treasures to keep! You might find out you may use them one day or you could use them for a display in your studio area. I just love old treasures.
