Toar??
 

I received an envelope from American Quilter today, wanting me to become a member. There was a free pattern included. The pattern is Time Travel by Linda J. Hahn. In the cutting directions there is "HST using
TOAR". What does this mean? I have been making quilts since 2001 and have never seen this before.

I just googled this and 'Triangles on a Roll' came up, must be using paper piecing method. I can think of easier ways to make HSTs.
The first one I saw involved using strips and sewing in a zig-zag.
I would be more inclined to use the method in this link

oh my goodness, ,more initials!!! thanks for clearing that up

Never heard of that one, either. We learn something new everyday.

This is a new one on me. I think Edyta Sitar uses/recommends this method on her patterns also.

Gay, thanks so much!

Interesting product...but it doesn't say how many are on a roll?

I got the same thing ann and I didn't know what the acronym was either and I googled it. I've been quilting a long time too and had never heard that. Now we are both more informed. :o

i dont know exactly how many...maybe depends on the size of the hst. I have used those for a long time...great way to make many hsts if you need to, or scrappy project.

FatQuarter shop has these rolls, for various sizes, there's about 700 x 2 1/2" HSTs per roll, and more or less depending on the sizes.

I know there is another on-line shop but for the life of me I can't remember the name.

Is this something else I need? :D

I have used Triangulations for years. I like that I can print out any size I need for HST and QST as well as flying geese.

I also had to Google the TOAR and wondered if the directions contain options, can you cut the 4" squares to make your HST and not cut the 8 1/2 " strips which I think are to be used for the triangles.
Also, I believe there is n error for the red blocks, instructions read cut 3 2"x wof red print and cut 2"x wof cream. I think that we need 3 of each o further cut the 2"units for the 4 patch

Just reread my post and found that there is a problem with my keyboard, can't possibly be me, I see that when questioning the number of 2" strips, should read cut 3 @2" x wof and 1 @2" x wof. shouldn't this be 3 of each to make subunits.

I just used Triangles on a Roll for the first time. You can cut the paper as long or short as your fabric is. All in all, I liked them and am happy with the results. A lot of paper removal, but an easy mindless task.

Triangles on a Roll have been around for a decade. I bought my first TOAR in 2008 or therebouts at a quilt show. The vendor sold out of every roll she had after everyone watched her demos. I made hundreds of HSTs because it was so easy with the cut and sew method. I now use the Triangulations software to make my own in any size. Mrs. Rosie's Cake Mix recipe cards are the new version of TOAR.

I had never heard this either. She does not give sizes and it takes alot of guessing to get it right!!!!

I also find triangles on a roll. problem is there are 11 different sizes. I find this disturbing. the pattern gives definition of HST & WOF, but really no explanation of TOAR
