I'm trying hard to make my peace with templates, but I have problems making pieces with templates. No pun intended. Really. I hate using templates. The tiniest bobble when copying the lines ends up magnified all over the quilt, in every block.
I've made good copies of the templates on "template sheets" but every time I go around with my teeny tiny little rotary cutter I nick some of the template and that's not good. But if I draw around it and cut with scissors, mistakes and bobbles are inevitable. And I've tried cutting from that clear stuff that the ones you buy are made from, but can't do it for the life of me.
So, any suggestions on how to work with templates while keeping my sanity? I really love this block and want to incorporate it into a quilt. It's got curves (which I'm fine with) so strip piecing is out. I've got to deal with templates.
I await your collective wisdom. Please....... Sunny
