The I use is 80gsm or 90gsm paper. 80gsm is perfectly adequate but 90gsm makes the templates just a little more usable. One of my customers told me that she used the 90gsm templates I sold her about six times. She must have been very careful! In the old days they used to use any paper available - even newsprint, which must have been very difficult to use plus the print may have marked the fabric. I would not recommend less than 80gsm or more than 100gsm . Hope this helps.

Could you show us how to do curved templates? Nice video!!!

[thejaxcollection]

@ParadiseofFibers Hi - thanks for your comment. Curved templates can be created by gathering small tacking stitches around 1cm seam allowance over curved paper template. A bit fiddly and the secret is to sew very small stitches when sewing curves together. I will endeavout to create a video clip when I get a moment! Hope this helps

So much easier than I thought. Thanks for the very clear instructions, now I know that I don't have to cut out 100's of hexagon shapes, I will certainly start my long awaited quilt.
