you can use any size you want, as long as you cut them all the same size. The fun part is making your own template and marking it so you always get the same angle for the seams. The tool comes in three sizes (I have two).
The main problem with a template is that you are going over the seams. The tool has feet so it stands above the seams and is much easier to keep from moving around. I think if I was going to do a special size, I'd mark with chalk around the template and then cut with scissors to avoid the template not wanted to stay in place.

Thank you! Yes, I have the tool with the feet so it does 'hover' over the seams and seems to stay put fairly well. If I were using a cardboard/thin plastic template, yes, I'd draw around and then cut but probably with my rotary cutter/ruler along the drawn lines..easier on the hands!
