The Mercury Template has been designed to measure hexagons from point-to-point. A ¼” seam allowance is included.

If you have a pattern which measures on one side, simply divide the Mercury Template number by 2. (Example, the 4 indicator on the Mercury Template, will produce a finished Hexagon which measures 4” point-to-point, and 2” on each finished side.)

If you have a pattern which measures flat side to flat side and you don’t have a pattern, you can still use the Mercury Template! This takes about 5 minutes, and requires tools you are probably already using. Step this way into my work area for a short lesson.

Deceptively simple, the Mercury Template is perfect for beginners and experienced quilters alike. Each purchase includes detailed instructions which can be ‘viewed in advance’ down below!
