Acrylic templates are designed to be used alongside paper pieces, they are larger than the paper template so you can draw around them and cut out your fabrics accurately.
We list the correct matching acrylic and paper templates for each of our shapes on the same product page, so you can shop quickly and efficiently. Eg. if you are using a 1″ hexagon paper template, you would purchase the 1″ hexagon acrylic template, (we add the seam allowance additionally) to make it easier for shoppers.
Our acrylic templates have three seam allowance options; 3/8″ , 1/4″ , no seam allowance based on your needs.
The standard seam allowance of 3/8″ seam allowance (suitable seam allowance for most of our sizes). From experience, any paper template under 1/2″ in size is more suited to a 1/4″ seam allowance.
