new template question

[scrappyquilter]

Hi,
I got the half hexie template & wondered if the backing comes off?
This may be a non-slip coating but I don't like it & Would prefer a clear template also the template reads backwards
as if the coating was put on wrong side?

thanks,Patsy

Yes, peel it off. It's just to protect the acrylic while it's being cut.

I was just wondering the same about the new tumbler, hexie and apple core templetes I just purchased. I was afraid I would damage them if I took off the backing, but saw it looked clear when Jenny did her tutorial. By the way I was very impressed at how quickly my purchase came. I love MSQC, wish you all great success with the new store.

God Bless from Kentucky!!

Yeah, I think I even saw in one of her tutorials where she takes the paper off a new one!

yep, that's the answer... i wondered myself after buying one... it's not a easy task really... so i just dove right in and made a little "sear" with a pin... to get it going... it's on there really good!!!

Thanks -- I tried loosening it & it didn't budge...will try again--maybe spray with water.
Thanks again all of you.
