Frequently Asked Questions

How thick are your templates?  They are 1/8 inch thick.  They are designed to be used with a rotary cutter. They are the same thickness as an Omnigrid Ruler.

What is a scant 1/4 inch seam allowance? The scant 1/4" makes up for the fabric in the seam line. It is one threads width less than a 1/4".  It is very important to sew with a scant 1/4" when piecing quilts. You will find your corners are perfect and seams will meet when using a scant 1/4 inch.

Which Thread do you recommend?  Use 100% cerc. cotton thread, size 50 to match your cotton fabric for care and strength. Cotton thread is strong, yet fine for accurate piecing.

How do I get the paper or film off of my templates? You should be able to peel back a corner. It should come off without any trouble.  Some templates have protective brown paper while others have clear film.
