No, EQ prints foundations for paper-piecing. Triangulations prints a grid with a continuous line of quilting that runs all over the paper in a dotted line.

Press both sides to set the seams, then cut on the solid lines and press open toward the dark. The paper helps hold that bias seam and it comes right off with a little tug after your perfect HST's are pressed flat. :) Just a thumbnail into the seam and the paper comes right off.

Oh and I love Jenny Doan's teaching videos - I even bought her series.

But I wouldn't use her two square method of making four HST's on a bet - even starched, all those bias edges are a nightmare for me.

I have trouble enough with HST's when my fabric is cut on or across the grain - no sense adding any further difficulties to the process. ;)
