Inklingo -- Have You Used It?
 

I've been researching Inklingo for potential hand project. I've found it mentioned here on the board several times, but no real information that I can find from someone who has actually used it.

Is it as good as it looks? Tell me the pros and cons.

I'm thinking it looks pretty wonderful, too, Tartan. I'm just not sure it's $25 wonderful. My inner cheapness is hard to silence.

My sister does a lot of hand work and she has Inklingo and loves it. She said it took some getting used to but makes her hand stitching so much more accurate. :)

I have used Inklingo a number of times - she does have free patterns - mainly shapes - what I like about it is that you can eliminate the need for a template - you just print right onto the back of the fabric using freezer paper (81/2 X 11 with the fabric ironed on to it ) and runing it thru your printer then cutout the shapes. Also the woman who owns Inklingo is really a delightful person and will answer all your question ASAP.

Thanks for the input Dakota and Petey. I'm leaning more and more toward trying this. I should probably try out the free shapes just to see if I'm smart enough to print on the fabric.

While it looks like it is a great idea, I actually use Press and Seal for hand quilting. Not sure if you hand quilt or machine quilt, but I found with the P&S, there are no designs out of my reach. When I have some time I was actually going to mKe a tutorial for it.

I use Inklingo and like it. I just started using it and I think it wastes fabric, but maybe I am not setting it up right. I know you can cut your material down, but my printer doesn't work that great if I adjust the paper size. I would love to see a tut on Press and Seal I hear it works great, but now sure how to use it.

I thought Press and Seal was more for quilting -- not piecing. Maybe I'm missing something.

Yes, it is for quilting. Sorry, when you said hand work I thought that was what you were referring too, my bad.
