I used them for one quilt I made. Was very easy to use.

I've used them and love them. If you're making a lot of the same HST, there's also a product called Ta Da Triangles...I've used this too and love it as well. They're sized for fat quarters and work great.

I love Thangles and have most of the sizes-"different strokes for different folks".

I print out any 'paper on fabric' pattern using lightweight translucent vellum (not scrapbooking vellum.) It's super easy to remove and no tiny bits of paper going everywhere. Once you use the vellum you'll not want to hassle with copy paper or the Thangle paper.

I did one quilt with them. I am on my second one using thangles. They work very well.

They is no more marking of lines to make half triangles. I have seen tutorials for this quilt made without thangles and they are so many more steps an maneuvers to make.
Don't worry and have fun with it.

I've tried Thangles and really like them, but I wish they had some sort of temporary adhesive on them, cuz I hate pinning them on my fabric.

I don't know the math for the size for a 1 1/2" HST, but it should be easy enough to fudge. Make 4 and put them together , then measure the size of the square.

I tried this and it works great. My problem is remembering this tip when I do triangles. :lol:
