Sew Easy · Patchwork templates
Cut fabric and prepare paper shapes with one coordinated set.
Three nominal hexagon sizes and a built-in ¼-inch seam allowance make this reusable template set a useful companion for hexagon patchwork and English paper piecing. Match the template to your pattern, then use the cutting outline appropriate to your method.
A consistent cutting outline
Use the same template for repeated pieces so each fabric shape begins with the same outline. Keep the template firmly in position as you mark or cut.
Plan the print placement
A see-through template helps you position a feature print before marking it. Try the layout on a spare piece of fabric first.
Paper and fabric have different jobs
Reusable cutting templates help prepare the pieces; paper templates stay inside fabric during EPP basting. Check which outline your chosen method needs.

Good to know
Are paper pieces included?
No. This is a reusable template set. Pre-cut paper pieces, fabric, needles and thread are purchased separately.
Should I add another ¼-inch allowance?
The design already includes a ¼-inch seam allowance. Check the indicated outline and the pack instructions before cutting so you do not accidentally add it twice.
Will every paper template with the same number fit?
Check the actual outline as well as the stated size. Some template ranges measure differently, and diamond shapes can use different angles.
