Our monthly package comes with 2 1/2" strips so can't take advantage of some of your suggestions right now but will definitely try in the future. I use a 2.5 stitch and have tried creasing both directions before ripping still with no success. Gotta' be me, gotta' be me, gotta' be me :-(
I hate thangles, could not get them correct no matter what I did. I use triangulations software and print them on doodle pads from the dollar store. I sew at 1.6, 90 needle, and the doodle pads, the paper is so pulpy, the stitch small, the needle big and the paper peels off. No bitty pieces. I just did pinwheels and most of mine where on the money. This is my first time using for such a big project so I figure I sewed over the line a few times. They measure right on the money now.
