I have the same triangle template. I really like it, but it's the only template I have, unless you count my 12 1/2 inch square ruler that I use for all sorts of things. I've had my eye on a giant hexagon template, but it's really for just one project at this point and VERY pricey so I might have to dust off those old math skills, get out the protractor and compass, and make my own.

The triangles are gorgeous. My favorite acrylic template is the honeycomb, sometimes called skinny hexagon (maybe?)... it's the one used in the Lucy Boston Patchwork of the crosses EPP block.

My favorite template is actually my 6-1/2" square with the diagonal clearly marked. I use it for so much, pretty much anything smaller than 6-1/2", but it's absolutely the best for squaring up HSTs. I do love triangles, too.

As in its still on when I wake in the morning. I use the clear ovals instead of the metal thimble disc. Have you tried the clover thimble? Its adjustable and has a metal ridge across the top that gives amazing leverage. I use that on my right hand and the thimble it on the left - I have to be able to feel the needle coming through. lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13105479829528692836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-19653787047994381712016-08-30T13:57:59.410-05:002016-08-30T13:57:59.410-05:00Hi Jayne...

One leather stick on thimble can be reused for several days of quilting and the metal with the adhesive on the underside will last me a week of nightly quilting sessions before I have to replace the sticky piece - be very careful taking it off your finger though as the adhesive might pull off the metal and it can be hard getting it back on as it can fold - if you are careful with it, it too can last for days. Just wipe your fingertip off with some alcohol or wash hands first with no kind of lotionKaren - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-32051614210941311532016-08-30T07:59:56.731-05:002016-08-30T07:59:56.731-05:00Oh, I hope they are sticky enough!!
