FAQs

Does this template include the seam allowance?

Yes, it is manufactured from high-quality transparent acrylic for maximum visibility.

What is the primary use for a 60-degree diamond?

How should I clean the acrylic?

Troubleshooting

Fabric slipping while cutting

Apply gentle pressure to the center of the template or use non-slip adhesive grips on the underside.

Rotary cutter nicking the template edge

Maintain a consistent, light pressure against the template edge and ensure the blade is sharp; a dull blade often causes users to press harder, increasing the chance of slipping.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, laser-cut transparent acrylic construction
  • Integrated 1/4-inch seam allowance for accuracy
  • Ideal for fussy cutting with clear fabric alignment
  • Compact size optimized for jelly rolls and fabric strips
  • Professional-grade finish for consistent patchwork

Cons

  • Limited to 60-degree diamond shapes
  • Size is restricted to small-scale patchwork projects
  • Requires a rotary cutter and mat for optimal use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure you are using a self-healing cutting mat to protect your work surface and prolong the life of your rotary cutter blade. Always press down firmly on the center of the template while cutting to prevent movement. To clean, wipe with a soft, damp cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that may cloud the acrylic. Store the template flat in a cool, dry place to prevent warping.
