the method I use depends on how many of the same color combination I'm making. For just a few I do the two-square stitched twice process and for making a lot I use a computer program which allows me to print out paper with stitching lines for the number and size of finished square I want..I print up as many sheets of paper as I need to do the job. I've used Thangles (a different brand from Triangles on a Roll) and they work fine, but I prefer to print my own -
