2-1/2" Octagon Variation 04

Cut these octagon templates for a hexie-style quilt and they slice through fabric like butter, the acrylic staying put without slipping. Paper pieces in the same order are crisp and hold their shape through basting. Shipping was quick, so I’m already cutting the next batch.

Cutting my own fabric pieces for a quilt always makes me nervous, but these acrylic templates slid through the material cleanly with no snagging. The 2-1/2" octagon size is perfect for my scrappy hexie project.

I was a bit nervous about cutting my own shapes for a quilt, but these templates make it so easy—the acrylic is nice and thick, gliding smoothly around the blade. The octagon came out perfectly uniform every single time, which is a huge relief for my English paper piecing project.
