Kearing 3” Hot Ironing Ruler Template Set – Quilting Shapes

Step up your quilting accuracy and efficiency with the Kearing 3” Hot Ironing Ruler Template Set, designed to create larger, perfectly shaped fabric pieces with speed and consistency.

This set includes a range of essential geometric shapes such as hexagon, pentagon, diamond, triangle, and circle, all sized at 3 inches. Built with integrated seam allowance and precise point-to-point measurements, it allows you to fold and press fabric directly over the template for clean, repeatable results every time.

Made from high-temperature resistant resin, these templates can be used directly under a steam or dry iron without warping. This removes multiple steps from your workflow and replaces traditional paper or cardboard templates with a far more durable and accurate solution.

Key Features

• 3” template size ideal for larger quilting and patchwork designs
• Includes multiple shapes: hexagon, pentagon, diamond, triangle, and circle
• Heat-resistant resin allows direct ironing without damage
• Built-in seam allowance for consistent sizing and accuracy
• Non-slip surface keeps fabric stable during pressing
• Translucent design for clear visibility and precise placement
• Flexible yet durable construction for long-term use

Why the 3” size matters

Compared to smaller template sets, the 3” version is perfect when you want:

• Faster project progression with larger pieces
• Stronger visual impact in quilt designs
• Easier handling for beginners or larger hands

It’s especially effective for quilts where bold shapes and clean geometry are key.

Perfect for

• Hexagon quilts and geometric patchwork
• English paper piecing style projects without paper
• Larger quilting blocks and layouts
• Appliqué and decorative fabric shapes
• Batch production where consistency is critical

Faster, cleaner, more consistent quilting

Traditional methods involve tracing, cutting, folding, and pinning each piece individually.

With this set:

• Place fabric over the template
• Fold along the edges
• Press directly

You get perfectly uniform shapes every time with far less effort and significantly faster workflow.

Built for modern quilting workflows

Kearing’s hot ironing templates were designed to solve a real problem in sewing tools. Standard plastic rulers couldn’t handle heat, while fabric rulers lacked visibility. Their resin technology combines both heat resistance and transparency for accurate pressing and shaping.

Pro tip for best results

Use light steam and consistent pressure, and work in batches. Prep multiple pieces and press in sequence to maximise efficiency and maintain uniformity across your project.
