Odette writes that in South Africa they use old x-ray film that's been wiped clean for stiffening inside ornaments. It's not clear like the quilting template (which actually is slightly matte, you can't really see through it) and it's a bit stiffer, but it should work nicely. Very creative!
Come to think about it, my godmother used old x-rays to cut flower stencils which I have. When my eyesight starts to go I plan a series of pillows using those stencils.
It pays to get creative in your needlepoint, doesn't it?
