Yes, the template includes a built-in 1/4-inch seam allowance for precise piecing.

Absolutely; the clear markings and built-in seam allowance make it very intuitive for those new to patchwork.
The template is not heat resistant. You should not touch the template with a hot iron, as it may warp or melt.
Apply non-slip adhesive grips or silicone dots to the underside of the template to increase friction.
Ensure you are applying light pressure against the edge rather than pushing the blade into it, and verify your rotary cutter blade is sharp.
To begin, ensure you are using a self-healing cutting mat and a sharp rotary cutter. Place your fabric strip on the mat, align the template's laser-cut edges with your fabric's grain, and apply firm, even pressure to the template while cutting. For maintenance, keep the template away from extreme heat sources, as high temperatures can warp the acrylic. Clean the surface periodically with a microfiber cloth and a mild soap-and-water solution to remove fabric lint or adhesive residue. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, which can cloud or crack the transparent plastic.
