Fiber Friend Templates
from Timeless Touches

These easy-to-use Fiber Friend Shapes templates will help you achieve advanced fiber designs with a minimum of effort. Nested patterns offer many design possibilities. Stars, Pines, Leaves, Hearts, Daisies and Sports templates are 4-1/4" wide by 5-1/2"  Baby templates measure 1-3/4" wide by 3-1/2" tall.

How to use Fiber Friend Shapes

Pierce your paper through the holes of the shape of your choice. Starting from the back, stitch through the holes. Secure the fiber to the back of the paper with acid-free tape.

Design Ideas:

Use each shape "as is", stitching a simple pattern with fiber. Two sizes of each design are included to provide variety for your page layouts and cards.

Nested patterns provide many design possibilities. Stitch a double shape, with the same fiber or different colors. Stitch from the inner to the outer holes, creating a contemporary look. Stitch from the center hole to the outer holes (you may wish to place an eyelet at the center to strengthen the hole).

The flowers can be stitched using the "front" petals only, or all of them for a fuller effect. Use light and dark shades for the front and back petals to change the look. The centers of both flowers are the same size, allowing you to create interesting effects with the petals.

The tree patterns can be stitched as either a primitive or regular tree, depending on how you stitch the fibers. Use the lines on the template as your guide.

Leaves can be stitched in one color, or variegated to add interest. Change the color of fiber based on the season. Change the look by skipping the additional holes in the large leaf.

Stitch the design directly to the background paper or cut around the shape for a die-cut appearance.

Let your imagination be your guide!
