Cushion template

Imported from the States, this template is designed for marking out square, round or rectangular cushions. The heavy duty transparent plastic allows you to centre a design exactly where it is needed. Printed measurements are drawn in 1" intervals, from 10" to 24" (on the metric version they are drawn in 2cm intervals from 24cm to 60cm). Punched holes at the different measurements mean you can mark through them onto your fabric.
