Using the Curly Q templates

Leonie West says: "Westalee Templates are used and tested by myself and a number of quilters before we release new products and even with all this testing sometimes when using a template months later I will find that a change to the template will be a benefit to the quilter. The Curly Q is one of these templates we changed the key in this template as we only need to sew against one side of the template (not the side with the key). By having an opening instead of the key, you simply lift the template past your foot, flip or swap sizes. It is faster and you do not have to worry about losing the key.

We have also taking the key out of a number of other templates for this reason."
