Acrylic templates for DWR
Is there a set of templates (acrylic) available for making a double wadding ring quilt with pieced rings?
I have the McCalls pattern that you can print out the paper ones, but I'd really prefer the acrylic ones that I can cut around with a rotary cutter. |
I have one that's a "Double Wedding Ring Template Set" for a 17" diameter with 7 templates, by Marti Michell. The product code on it is 8017.

Simplicity Pieced Double Wedding Ring Template
http://www.nancysnotions.com/product/simpli+ez+double+wedding+ring+template.do Also, here is one where the 3-in-1 template for the inside, melon & square are separated into 3 different templates. Of course, you pay more than twice the price to get the separate templates, but in case you're interested in that, here's a link: http://vfwquilts.com/products/double...g-template-set |
Traditionally, double wedding ring has fairly small pieces (smaller than a 2" square) in the rings. I can't picture cutting around an acrylic template for something that small.

Check out quiltinaday.com - Eleanor Burns has them. I believe the set is about $18.00 or $20.00. I just gave my set to my sister since I live is So. Cal. and she lives in WA, and I have the GO die.
Oops - that is a wedding ring set, not the DWR. |
I have this book and template.

I found these yesterday. They're probably expensive compared to others but I'm keen to get them. The second video on the same page is very good, explains a lot.

I bought my set from John Flynn. You will want to get the small Olfa 18mm cutter to cut around these smaller templates especially with the one with the curved side.

The second video on the same page is very good, explains a lot. http://www.qheartland.com/pd-double-wedding.cfm I figure I will watch the videos over and over again until I get the courage up to start. Then I can refer back to the videos as I go. Super excited to get these!! |
I have the the same acrylic set as Annaquilts from Sharlene Jorgenson. I made a DWR in blues and yellows for my daughter many years ago but these are the best to use. I would cut pieces in my free time and put them in a pizza box and when I would have time I would sew a block or two. These templates are worth buying.
