Emily ★★★★★

The precision-cut edges make lining up these bowties a breeze, and the 3-inch size is perfect for my scrap-busting quilt blocks. I’ve already finished two rows without any wonky corners.

Penelope S. ★★★★★

The precision-cut edges make every bowtie block line up perfectly, so my quilt corners finally look sharp instead of wonky. I've already bought more for a wall hanging I'm planning.

Isabella ★★★★★

I’ve been using these for a new quilt and the consistent size really helps my blocks line up perfectly every time. The paper is sturdy enough to hold its shape through multiple seams but still easy to remove at the end.
