I have no issue with paper piecing but am not a fan of Thangles. I've used them as required by some classes and just am not a fan. I just find it less cumbersome to do HST's the 'regular' way of putting 2 squares of fabric together, drawing the diagonal center line and sewing on either side. I usually oversize by the 1/8" to make a slightly larger unit and trimming. No less work than the Thangles but less cumbersome in my silly little mind.
