Does anyone have a source for the plastic quilting templates that are opaque?  I usually buy it in bulk from Edinburgh, but they have changed suppliers and the sheets they sell now are clear - not opaque.  Unfortunately, I now have 50 sheets of it and just hate using it!  I've checked e-Bay as well as several Quilt suppliers, but want to buy in bulk, not by the sheet.

You can buy them in large sheets at Joann's and also, Walmart has them with 5 (I think) 8 x 11 inch sheets to a pack.

I checked with Quilters Resource.  They have Ipp Sheet Plastic in 14x20" sheets.  25 sheets to a package.  I am not sure if it is the same that Edinburgh used to carry.  Then I googled Inglis Publications Products who was listed at Quilters Resource as the maker.  They have several plastic sheets.  They also have the IPP Sheet Plastic in 50 sheets to a box.  Maybe you could send them a sample and see if they have the same thing.  Years ago I bought architect plastic and love it.  I am not sure what I am going to do when it is gone.

Thanks Patty.  I actually prefer to purchase it in the packs with 50 or more sheets, but will keep Joann's in mind if I can find it.  Thank you as well Donna.  I buy a lot from Quilter's Resource and wasn't able to find it in the catalog.  It must be listed under something totally different than Quilting, Template or Plastic.  I'll give them a call in the morning and see if I can order some.
