I went to Home Depot looking for Plexi glass and found a version they call Acrylic Sheet that is much cheaper but, still quite thick compared to the plastic they sell for stencils. It also is clear. It was about $3 for an 11 X 14 pc. I havent seen the same thing at Walmart and have not had a chance to check for it at craft stores but, plan to. It says easy to cut, have to decide which pattern templates to make. The web site says for fabrication information visit

you will have to type that in as I have not mastered links yet (actually haven't tried yet! :( .

Oh for the roll sheeting maybe heating it with a hair dryer might relax it. I'd weight it while heating it. If the Iron suggestions didn't work.

Hi every one out there, i have my corners and sashes on my quilt Thanks to every one for your help.I have a problem with my ruler slipping when i'm cutting fabric, any suggestion in solving this problem or maybe an idea that may keep the ruler from slipping.
Thank you Annette

One way is to have your fingers spread on the ruler much like a spider with your pinky off the edge holding it in place.....an easier way is to put little sandpaper or rubber grips on the bottom of the ruler to hold against the fabric. Either will help in keeping the ruler more in place. you can find them at your local hardware or often at wal-mart or other discount store or on-line as well in the notions department.

I have the same problem. Also I find myself shaving the ruler with the Rotary cutter. That can't be good for the blade? I Found a Pc. of plexiglass left over from some project of my husbands. It's 8"X19" You could cut it smaller or larger but, I find the extra weight helpful and the edges are thicker than the ruler so there is less tendancy to ride up the edge with the Rotary cutter. I think the only thing better would be tempered glass. :?:

I think most Wal Mart stores fabric dept. has went way down. I know our old one had all kinds of fabrics . now have to go to a fabric store to get what i want. and yes walmart does have template plastic.

So sorry about your fingers. Now you can use that old saying about putting blood,sweat and tears , into your quilt art. :roll: :oops:
