I don't like them at all. I got sucked into buying some with a quilt shop and have them stored. I like the fons and porter half and quarter ruler much better.

Can someone please explain just what they are, can you make them, do you buy them? Any words of advice or info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I love using the thangles...they work great with strips of fabric such as 2-1/2"....you don't have to worry about the 1/8" increments.
The only part I don't like is tearing away the paper...but I usually save that for when I am sitting in front of the tv.
