    Default Best brand of Templates?

    Who makes the best templates and has biggest variety?

    Are Fons & Porter good?

    I have found myself being very partial to the Fiber Arts templates/rulers.
    Of course this is only my favorite, some may not agree with me at all, and
    that is alright too.

    Marti Michell has a very extensive line of templates that are great quality. AND, they use a full quarter inch seam allowance... no 'scant' 1/4".

    I met her at the AQS quilt show in Paducah KY last spring. She's usually at all major shows. She's a teacher on Craftsy too. Very hard working and sweet lady.

    I get mine from all over and also have made some. Depends also on the finished product I'm wanting.
