YICBORSwirl Template for Quilting Fits Inside FMQ Grip 5

These are helpful learn free motion quilting. Easy to use, arrived quickly, good value for the money. Not really a complaint just an observation, the templates are on the thin side and I think they would be better a littl thicker. But most of these templates are the same thickness be it name brand or off brand .

At first I was little disappointed these didn't come with any sort of directions. But I went back on and watched the videos few times, practiced a little bit, and I'm very pleased I purchased these. Do get some tight grips for the bottoms, or they will slide all over the fabric.I did some free motion meander and straight quilting before, but these add a lot of depth to my work. I am super happy with my them.

This is very hard to figure out how to use them. I had to tape the template into the holder so it doesn't pop out when I was quilting. When I tapped it, it worked great.

they are not that sturdy

Still trying to figure these out! There are absolutely NO directions with these. They would be okay if you have used them before, but for first time users, not so great.

The template is advertised 5-6 mm (ca. 1/4 inch) thickness. Upon opening the package I immediately realized the template was not 1/4 inch thick. Any sewist/quilter knows a 1/4 inch seam. A little math: 5mm equals 0.197 inches; 6mm equals 0.236 inches. A 1/4" is approx. 6.5mm. The video on the Amazon website 'looks' closer to a 1/4" template. So I did order this template and immediately returned it, because it is not as described or shown. My sewing machine is a Janome MC9900 Sewing/Embroidery/Quilting, 9mm sewing width, high shank machine. To use these templates would be risky in that they are 1/8" and would run the risk of the foot going over the edge of the template and the needle hitting the acrylic. Could probably use on a low shank machine, but the center of the swirl flexes a lot and even a low shank would run the risk of going over the edge and needle hitting the acrylic.

Nice template. Works well

It's exactly as the description said and delivery was fast and easy. The only thing I wish is that it came with the sticky circles to put on the the bottom to stop it from sliding around.

Good value

I found the ruler fairly easy to use. A little bit more information on how to use this ruler would be helpful

Product thickness was 3 mm not the 6mm quoted, it is flimsy.

Will be returning - its flimsy rubbish
