I made my own templates using heavy paper / card. Cut the carpet slightly larger as you can trim them when you fit. I used a blow torch to singe the edges. I also hand stitched my own vinyl edges - quite anal, but very rewarding :D

Yes I agree, but I can't think which is worse; the blow torch or the stitching

Here's a pic of my templates. You only need make a set for one side and use the reverse for the other side. Unless you want to be completely anal and make two sets :mrgreen:
