the bigger template has slots in both vertical & horizontal direction. The distance between the slots in each direction is 350 mm. This template is placed on fabric & marks are put on all slots by a marking pen which easily goes inside the slot. After marking fabric is washed & dried. Now the smaller template with 5-10-15 marked on it & also with 2 slots 350 mm apart is placed on the marks in each direction.
