I like to draft my own templates for English paper piecing. Once I've created a master template I make copies of it and use for my epp projects. You can also draft your own template. I find it easier than searching the net, finding the appropriate ones, downloading, printing and copying.
Here I Show how to make your own diamond and hexagon templates.
You'll need graph paper, mechanical pencil and a ruler with 60 degree angle.
If ready, here we go!
- Draw a horizontal line on the graph paper.
- Decide on the size of the diamond. I make them of 3.5 cm. Draw another horizontal line 3.5 cm away.
- Line up the 60 degree mark on your ruler on a horizontal line on the paper. Draw a diagonal line.
- Line up the 3.5 cö mark on the ruler on the 60 degree line that you have drawn. Draw a line. Move the ruler over 3.5 cm and draw onether line. Repeat this until the sheet is full of 60 degree lines.
There it is- a sheet full of diamonds. With these diamonds I am planning to make Lone Star Quilt. A combination of diamonds with other shapes will definitely make amazing motifs.
You can create hexagon templates by using the diamond shape. Red lines show how to draw the hexagon. In this way you can create a page full of hexagons.
