Craft Edge

Hello Peeps,
I have just taken up patchwork and quilting and am pretty stunned at the cost of the many templates and rulers needed it is also very hard to find on-line suppliers here in France or UK ones that will ship to France at a reasonable cost.
I have bought some template plastic that will cut with the Sizzix Eclips and before I re-invent the wheel making my own from scratch (Dresdens, Drunkards, hexigons) etc wondered if any of you ladies (or gents) have any resources to share?
Merci

I don't quilt or cut material, however, if you use the search feature on this forum and type in quilting, you will see several posts on quilting and fabric. Some have links to YouTube videos. Perhaps this will help get you started.
