This post contains affiliate links for which I receive compensation. Free quilting templates are provided whenever they are needed to create one of the many quilt block patterns on the Generations Quilt Patterns website.
Follow this quick guide to insure they are printed and cut so that your patches are exactly the right size. You'll learn about the template material I use, how to print and how to cut using these free printable templates. Since we'll be using our rotary cutter, there's no need for thicker or sturdier templates.
If one gets messed up, simply print another. If you find you do need a sturdier template, try using a card stock—usually the 67lb weight from the office supply store. You MUST use an inkjet printer because it doesn't make heat. NO LASER or LASERJETS! Lasers create heat to set their toner.
That heat melts the plastic coating on the freezer paper, messing up the inside of your printer. No heat equals no melting. It's as simple as that! Always, always, quilting stencils free downloads, always use the free Adobe reader program to print the quilting templates and paper piecing patterns, quilting stencils free downloads.
Click here to get your free download of it if you don't have the latest version already. Below is what a messed up one looks like—ugh! All that work for nothing unless you use Adobe.
The grainline arrows show the direction the templates should be laid out on the fabric. The arrow should always be parallel to the selvedge. On templates with two arrows, just choose one. The other will, by default, be on the crosswise grain, just as it should be.
Patches cut on grain create blocks whose outside edges are stable and less likely to stretch throughout construction. Click here for more information on grainline and why it's important in our quilts. In other programs they are either positioned completely wrong as shown above or they've disappeared.
After you've opened the PDF quilting template file in Adobe, click on the print icon in the top bar. Go down the left side until you come to 'Custom Scale' under 'Page Size and Handling'.
In the preview page above you can see the grainline arrows ARE in the correct position—inside the solid stitching lines. On PDF template and paper piecing pattern pages printed from the Generations Quilt Patterns site, you'll always find a small square on the page below, left.
This square measures 1" exactly when it's printed correctly quilting stencils free downloads, right. To conserve paper, print one copy. Check the 1" square for accuracy. If you're right on, print as many copies as you'd like. All the free quilting stencils free downloads templates on this site have a solid black stitching lines just like the templates for the 4" Finished Diamond in a Square block that is shown in the following quilting stencils free downloads. Click here to print a copy for yourself.
If you look closely you'll also see faint dashed lines a quarter inch from the solid ones. This is ideally the cutting line for the patch. With a scissor cut around the template shape just past the dashed line. Don't bother with being exact. You just want to remove the excess paper, leaving the solid stitching line intact. Next lay your template printed side up on the right side of quilting stencils free downloads fabric. Align any arrow so that it is parallel to the selvedge edge or lengthwise grain of your fabric.
It won't move around when I'm cutting. This type of tape doesn't leave behind any residue. If you printed yours on printable freezer paper, iron them to the right side of the fabric with a dry iron. A smaller mat or a rotary mat my favorite are perfect for cutting quilting templates. You move the mat and not the fabric. It makes for more accurate cuts and virtually no re-positioning of the templates. The center of our Diamond in a Square unit has the grainline running straight from point to point.
There is tape on the template and none on the fabric patch. For perfectly sized patches it's important that the fabric doesn't shift during cutting, quilting stencils free downloads.
If you can cut up to four layers at a time without shifting, that's good. To help hold the layers together, quilting stencils free downloads, press the them together with your iron. Cotton wants to stick to itself. The pressure and heat of the iron encourage this tendency. Yes, you can. Print one copy, confirm it's the proper size and then print as many copies as you need. For me, it's too easy to click the wrong button and end up with 25 copies the wrong size.
Having the lengthwise grain run in the same direction through your block and, in particular, having the outside edges of your blocks onthe straight of grain make for more stable, less stretchy blocks.
But the choice it ultimately up to you. You may not have enough fabric to use the grainlines. You might want to fussy cut a particular patch. There may be other reasons you choose not to use the arrows, quilting stencils free downloads. Just make an informed decision that works best for you, quilting stencils free downloads. If you find that there's all sorts of quilting stencils free downloads edges in the patches, I suggest quilting stencils free downloads a liberal dose of fabric starch.
It will help minimize the stretching. Click here to learn more about starching your quilting fabric. I guess there must be a reason since they all say to add it to fabric, but wouldn't be easier to add it once on the template? I'll address each instance where quilting quilting stencils free downloads are used.
Note: I'm going to use the abbreviation 'SA' for seam allowance. Applique templates can be used with several different techniques. For fusible applique, you don't add any SA, quilting stencils free downloads.
For needleturn applique, you do add a seam, BUT So adding a SA to the template would actually make for more work. Think of a daisy shape with many petals, all cut as a single patch. If those petals are close enough together, adding a seam allowance to the template may obliterate the space between the petals. The appliquer is left wondering where exactly to stitch. She'd have to go back to mark the stitching line.
Extra work without any gain. The 'exactness' of the SA isn't important. It needs to be big enough so that the SA is stable and won't pull out. The quilter is actually matching the drawn line of one patch to the drawn line of the second and intentionally stitching directly on that line, quilting stencils free downloads.
A hand-piecer doesn't have a quarter inch guide like a sewing machine does. She'd have quilting stencils free downloads go back and measure and mark the stitching lines.
For the machine piecer, yes, having the SA added to the template would make it easy accept for one thing. It's much easier to add a SA with your rotary cutter and ruler, than it is to line up the edge of that same ruler with a solid cutting line—particularly if you're cutting many, many of the same template shape.
You can see this on the templates for the Carolina Lily quilt block. However, for applique blocks like the Magnolia Blossom, no SA is added. Click here to see those templates. Even with those SA automatically added, I cut my shapes with templates by aligning the quarter inch mark on my ruler with the solid black stitching line. I believe this makes for more accurate cuts and shapes. It's simply much easier to see. Furthermore, it's no extra quilting stencils free downloads, I'd still be cutting the patch with my rotary cutter and ruler.
