I haven't looked through the book much yet, just enough to see the
templates, so I'm not sure what method is recommended. It is just such a
nice pattern.

Hey Trixie
Another idea for keeping templates from sliding especially if you are
using plastic. I use double sided scotch tape. This pattern is fun
to make. It was one of the first patterns I tried. Oh did I learn a
lot, especially patience. It was my first time with curves.
Have fun making it.

I have, successfully, stuck paper templates to thin card and very
carefully cut them out. I used photo mount spray glue - so no lumps.

Oh, sorry J., I haven't done a Dahlia. That method was used when I had
to do some templates for the Snowflake (von Koch's).
