I tried to start a tumbler quilt using the MSQC 10" Layer Cake Tumbler Template . The template is not like the small version that fits perfectly with the charm pack . Does someone have this that can help me? The layer cake is too small for the template. Thank you!!
I was just starting to cut mine right now and came in to ask a question. My layer cake is 10 1/4 ''. That might be the reason.
Mine has the 1/4 seam allowance as well and doesn't cut straight. I have about a 2 inch area on the bottom that goes from the angled line to straight. Will I have to cut that to fit seperatly as it won't sew right. I'm a new quilter and this has thrown me for a loop. I watched the tutorial and Jenny's template fits perfectly
Oh it's a tumbler, My mind was on a dresden. Sorry. There is going to be scraps that aren't useable. I would watch it over. I had to watch a binding tutorial (not Jenny's)about three times before it sunk in. lol
I was thinking about this more. Did you measure your layer cake? Mine are too big and yours might be too small. There have been complaints about the fabric companies not being consistant.
Lori I did measure, my layer cake is 10x10 I measured it. I had to cut almost 2 inches off the bottom or else they would not line up like Jenny's in the tutorial. I wish they had sent me the one they used because the 1/4 inch seam allowance throws everything off when it's added to the template. It's not the same one as on the MSQS web store.
Hhhmmm - I just made a layer cake tumbler quilt and the template fit just right. Weird....
If it is not the tumbler template from M*, it may not fit the whole layer cake - the one from M* was designed for use on a layer cake with little waste. I am sure it will turn out cute - tumbler quilts always are!
Oh how strange. Do you have a pic you can show? Maybe it was a faulty cut. We will get to the bottom of this :)
The templates I have always include the seam allowance, otherwise I would never cut anything big enough. I dont have the large tumbler but I have the small tumbler and small half hexie and they fit perfectly. Sounds like maybe you received a badly cut template. Do you have a pic of,it that you can show us
I bought mine at MSQC I will try to get my son to help me upload a pic, we are in the middle of a bathroom makeover
All I can do for now is post measurments of the template. It's 10 1/2 inches long by 10 1/2 inches wide at the bottom. It says 10 inch tumbler by TCR engraving & Graphics It would be 10x10 without the 1/4 seam allowance
Are you sure you got it from here? Is it green? It's not showing up in the search.
It should look like this

OMG I am dense, I buy almost everything from here.........but the tumbler template. I'm so embarrassed. I got it from Amazon......walking away blushing and putting in an order for the one from here. Thank you hulamoon :/
Tiger lily, just FYI. If you are using a single template for a quilt, like this tumbler, it doesn't really matter if the template is a slightly different size from Jenny's, at least as far as assembly is concerned. As long as all are the same size they should sew together just fine.
Never mind, I see you solved the problem. Have fun :)
((( hugs tigerlilly))) There are so many threads here where there are mistakes. Keep trucking like they said in my day. lol
I want to add my little problem with templets. I was in a blog swap and got 600 4'' I spy squares. I ordered a template from ebay, they were 4 1'4''. I left a semi good/bad comment.He never mentioned that he added that 1/4'' He offered to make a new one, but yeah never happened.
