Yes but you will need a new pattern for each size of door. The flat run is to compensate for different sized doors using the same arched pattern.

I Need to agree with Bob and Rick R.

It takes a full set of templates, they come in many types, but you need the right one for the door size.. :)

Bob,

If I understand jimf's inquiry correctly he wants to make Roman arches (no horizontal element on the rails) and the only set of templates you linked for these was the next to last one.
