You are printing youe shapes directly on the back side of your fabric, using her templates.
http://www.quiltbus.com/inklingo.htm has an article. There are so many free graph paper sites and other ways to get shapes, If you hapen to have a printer that uses ink that does not wash out well, you could be in trouble. Her blog is here http://inklingoprojects.blogspot.com/ with great pictures. I'm not sure if it is worth spending big money on, but if you go here http://lindafranz.com/product.php?productId=7 she lets you download one to try. |
I have seen this too and for some blocks it may be worth checking into because of the accuracy you can achieve. I liked that the seam allowances were printed out too. A little too pricey for me, but I would think that you could do the same thing if you had EQ or any other quilt program.

i've looked at this product from time to time but i just don't trace alot of shapes onto my fabric.
i think if you find yourself tracing out triangles and what not on your fabric it would be worth the investment. |
someone correct me if i'm wrong, but it looks like you could (if you wanted to) just draw your shape many times on a sheet of freezer paper, iron it to your fabric, layer lots of layers of fabric and cut from there. is that right?
that seems the only thing worth while - that time-saving tip. by the way, the prices don't seem outrageous to me. Cutting, either scissor or rotary, is a pain in the patootie. anything that makes that more efficient and more accurate is well worth some money. and if anyone pays for patterns, consider that one $30 cd pays for only a few patterns. so you get a lot more for that money, i think. p.s. i'm not getting it. just stealing the idea. |
