The template pieces are made in Australia of translucent plastic, and include cross-lines to help centre blocks, and small holes marking corners and seam allowances. They are especially useful for fussy cutting on both light and dark fabrics. The pieces include a 1/4" (6mm) seam allowance so the cut piece will be the exact size needed for your project. The measurements given on all pieces are the cut size of the pieces and are for use in the American piecing technique. Tips for using the templates in various patchwork quilting techniques. **Machine Piecing:** Place the template piece on the fabric. Position it over the fabric pattern as desired. Hold the template piece firmly and use a small diameter rotary cutter to cut all around the piece. With the included 1/4" (6mm) seam allowance the cut piece will be the exact size needed for your project. **Hand Piecing:** Trace around the template piece with a fine marking pen. Use the marking holes in the template to mark the corners. These markings will help to align the pieces accurately for hand-stitching. **Fussy Cutting:** Matilda’s Own templates are clear and fluorescent green. This facilitates positioning the template piece over particular sections of a fabric pattern before cutting out the fabric piece. It allows you to select which parts of the fabric design you wish to have on any part of a block.
