Precision and Versatility Unleashed: Helix Large Circle Template (37169) Review

I use stencils in my artwork and need something that will stand up to repeated use and some abuse (as I keep bending them to continue the circle around the sides of the canvas). The quality and price are exceptional and once I wear this I will definitely buy it again!

I use the Helix Small Circle Template all the time and have decided to buy the other half of the set. I like Helix templates because they are sturdy but not too thick (which can cause distortion when drawing in the template) and don't slide all over the paper when used. These are 1.5 to 3.5 inch circles. , so while they're not plate-sized circles, they're big enough to handle a variety of projects.

The circles in the template I received are not clearly perforated. So if you trace one of the circles, the outline will look jagged because there is still roughness where the centers of the circles were removed. Everything is fine with the template if you are not confused by the roughness of the circles. However, I ordered a Staedtler stencil and it is much better quality plastic and the holes are smooth and form a smooth circle when traced.
