I'm an "Old Dog" learning new tricks! I make small miniatures and wall-hangings and have learned that I can make a 'template'out of plain manilla folders. These templates are thin enough to pin onto my quilt blocks or borders. I then hand-quilt around them, leaving no mark whatsoever on the quilt--no chalk, purple or blue markers, not pencil-lines, etc. I just move the template along the border or in block quilting areas. Pretty clever, don't you think? LOL
