HST Papers to print on home printer
I'm trying to find an online source to print HST papers, similar to Thangles. I found one that only goes up to 3". I need finished size 3.5. Oh, and then another site had 4" ones.
I know of the technique of making 4 at a time out of two squares. But don't like the results I get with the bias edges. Also I need to make 100. 25 of 4 different color schemes. SVAL |
Thangles work better when you trying to do scrappy. Why not just draw your lines on the light wrong side. Either way, you will end up with an even number of 26. Not sure how you are making you HST. You take two squares right side to right side, draw a diagonal line and stitch on each side of that line. Cut on original line and you have two HST with no bias edges. Any basic quilting book will have this information.

Triangle Magic, you have to pay for the program but it has bigger sizes.

Unless you used a lightweight paper in your printer, I'd imagine it would be a pain to remove the paper from the stitching.
Here's a way to create many HSTs at a time, all WITHOUT bias edges. (I hate bias edges!):) Jan in VA |
Have you looked at InkLingo? Not sure if they have that size or are free but might be worth a look if you don't like Jan's method. I've tried that one and get lost when I do! Obviously 'operator error'!

Iron a feather lightweight fusible interfacing on the fabric before cutting. No stretching of bias at all and the pieces will fit together perfectly.

My Guild is using the method at the bottom of the link to make hst for our Charity Project. We were making 8 inch finished ones. This method makes 8 at a time with no bias edges. I cut a bit big and trimmed to size. |
