Wow! After reading this, I'm gona have to try Laundry Basket's triangle paper. Totally love her books!

I use Inklingo and LOVE it. You print directly onto the back of the fabric and then sew out the lines. Similiar to Thangles but you skip the step of having to remove the paper.

I was going to ask about Inklingo. Can you adjust the size of whatever shape you are using? Or are you restricted to what's available?

the file you purchase includes a very wide range of sizes. From to small to 3 1/2" I think (I'm at work not at home so can't check on it)all on the one file. I made Bonnie Hunter's Orca Bay mystery quilt and made it very scrappy with Inklingo. I printed alot of light colored and matched that up with alot of dark fabric and sewed and cut and it turned out really nice.

I just put Triangulations 3.0 on my Amazon wishlist. Birthday is coming up soon. Thanks for the tip.

I have only used Thangles and think they are easy and fun. But I also love paper piecing. Good Luck, Teresa

I have used both. If you do not need alot of them Thangles work good. If you are doing a huge quilt, i use the laundry Basket Quilt Papers because they peel easy and I get more per sheet. The other upside of Thangles is that if you want to use up your scraps, then you get a larger variety of HSTs from Thangles because you can pick and choose different fabrics.

I have the Quilter's Magic Wand. A narrow ruler that you can mark the diagonals with and sew for HST's.
