Abstract: A template for use as a guide for cutting and placing tile for residential or commercial use, and a process for using same, is disclosed. Before using the template, a user would need to locate the center of the area onto which tiles would be placed and mark this center location. A user would place the template against the surface to which tiles would eventually be placed and then mark the template with a center mark, indication the eventual corner mark, A user would then be able to use the template to diagram the location of all necessary tiles, whether they be straight tiles or they be cut up tiles. A user would then be able to easily set the tiles by first placing the template against the required surface, and then, fixedly attaching the tiles to the template.
