Key benefits Create precise, repeatable Dresden Plate blocks in three petal counts (8, 12, 16) so every block in a quilt matches perfectly. Build large, finished motifs quickly: individual Dresden Plate blocks measure 27.9–30.5 cm in diameter, making them ideal for full quilt blocks, medallions, or feature motifs. Add design variety without extra templates by mixing four petal-edge styles: pointed, curved, straight, and Sicherungskurve (secure curve), enabling both traditional and modern looks. Improve accuracy and speed: peel the brown paper backing and attach the supplied handle along the etched side lines to use the template as a stable guide for trimming and ruler work. Product features Three petal configurations: templates for 8-, 12- and 16-petal Dresden Plates. Finished block size compatibility: produces Dresden Plate blocks that measure between 27.9 and 30.5 cm in diameter. Four interchangeable edge finishes: pointed, curved, straight, and Sicherungskurve (secure curve) for varied visual effects. Practical attachment system: brown paper backing on each template peels off; handles attach to the side with etched alignment lines so the template functions as a ruler guide during cutting and trimming. How it solves common quilting problems Eliminates uneven petals and inconsistent block sizes caused by freehand cutting. Reduces waste by providing stable templates for precise rotary cutting and trimming. Speeds construction of repeat units so you can complete multi-block layouts with consistent results. Offers edge-style options so you can vary block appearance without buying additional templates. Recommended applications Classic Dresden Plate quilt: produce dozens of matching plates to assemble a traditional bed quilt or wall-sized medallion. Table runners and cushions: make a series of smaller or larger Dresden motifs (27.9–30.5 cm) for coordinated home accessories. Appliqué and focal blocks: create perfect petal shapes for machine or hand appliqué radiating from a central circle. Usage tips Remove the brown paper backing from each template before use. Attach the handle to the side with etched lines; the etched lines help align the template for accurate ruler work and trimming. Mix petal edge options on a single project to create variation and visual interest while keeping block diameters consistent. This product delivers repeatable precision, flexible styling, and a straightforward attachment method to support accurate cutting and efficient quilt construction.
