Somewhere along the line, Joann's must have hed June Taylor (http://store.junetailor.com/store/p-...ch-circle.aspx), they go as a group on to little chains, and they were $1, so I bought all they had at the time, 7 sets
I've noticed there aren't as many shapes available now. I do use them all the time, a set includes one shape in varying sizes
I use them a lot.

I use the 2 for $1 cutting mats in a package from the boxes set up at the flea markets and peddler malls. Usually these areas have alot of things in boxes on the floor and I always manage to find the cutting mats.

I've used whatever is handy; paper, cardstock, cardboard, plastic canvas; but if it's a pattern/template I'll be using over and over, I cut one from plastic. I've been using the quilting template plastic from JoAnn's but from now on will be using featherweight's solution!

When I know I will re-use a template I use plastic lids like coffee cans or all our containers or yogurth or sour cream...that kind of lids. They are easy to mark with a pen and easy to cut with scissors. Hope this helps :-)

I don't usually use templates for patterns for quilts but I do use old x-ray sheets from the hospital for templates for marking quilting patterns on the quilt for hand quilting. If I need one for patterns myhusband cuts it out of material he has as he is a machinist.
