i use these too. i find it to be the fastest method

We don't have them here. Just googled to see what they are, and have never seen them before. They look awesome!

I use to finger press and line up the creases....now I use F&Ps triangle trimmers. Good Luck with your project.

Can you order from Fons and Porter's website? I have seen them for sale at Jo Ann's and other online stores, as well.

I'm sure they can be ordered online.... but you need a credit card that has room on it to do that. ;-) LOL

I'll just have to manage the old fashioned way for now, and mark the centres. :-)

if you cut out the triangles in this file, they will work as well as any commercial template. they should line up properly with the points of any size triangle.

Ahhhhh..... so I cut the ends off?

Thank you! :-)

when you say setting out a square in a diamond, what is that? can you show a sketch? i looked at the template and couldn't figure it out, unless something there is folded.

that isn't the same as a square in a square on point, is at?

Doesn't it mean a square in a square? Is that the same thing! Just turning the square on point? Inquiring minds want to know! :lol:
