Templates are back!

Many of you have been wondering what happened to my Cable Template Set. It's a long story, but to make it short I had problems with the manufacturer and had to secure a new one. That didn't work out so well and I decided to buy the equipment and make them myself.

So here you have it! As you can see they are a bit different than before. The main change being that I've gone to a clear acrylic instead of the amber colour that they were before. The main reason for this is that the clear is easier to buy and the supply is more reliable. Another change, that is hard to see in the picture, is that the templates now have interval markings along the long edge at the bottom. You can use these markings to help set-up your cable in your work and also for a ruler. Just helps to make them more versatile.

I've also completely revamped the instructions, hopefully making them even clearer yet, and adding some additional ways that you can use your Cable Template Set for your quilting.

The other big thing about this is that we will soon be offering more template sets for sale. News will be posted here when they are ready.

Cheers,

Jodi
