The piercing template is a 4" x 4" square ruler, piercing guide and eyelet setting guide - all in one! Use it with the piercing tool to create faux stitching or other piercing effects in your projects.
In this example, I've pierced a corner pattern about 5/8" in from the corner edges. I'm using the wider guide section for a faux stitching effect. The closer-spaced guide section makes great patterns, too.
Always use the foam piercing pad when you're working with the template so you protect your table. I also use the cutting mat underneath it if I'm piercing through thick material such as chipboard, or if I'm piercing for therapeutic reasons (like hammering, but pointed).
The piercing template is also an eyelet-setting guide, which you can use to align a row of 1/8" or 3/16" holes as well.
In my example, you can see where I've marked the positions for the eyelets in the upper right. You can also see the pierced corner in the lower left.
Check back in a few days to see my completed card.

Beggars cannot be choosers.
