Yes, I too "know" all the "formulas" for triangles/ flying geese, etc. The point being if I want to do a batch of whatever at whatever size, the paper pattern is, in my estimation, faster than other methods of doing it, thus I have decided to purchase the triangulations software rather than purchase different size rolls of already printed patterns..we all find whatever way works the best for us to do what we enjoy doing, or even things we have to do for that matter!
Thanks to the responses about how I will be happy I ordered the software-if I have a prob with it, I will be whining for help!!!!!!
All have a happy Sunday......

It has hst/qrt t/ and flying geese....sounds interesting....does anyone here use it?

I also like the angle ruler that Bonnie Hunter uses, but you have to square up and that is time consuming.

I have the trianglations cd; versions 2 and 3; I got 3 because it does 16th of an inch. They work really great. I get the doodle pads from the dollar store and cut them to printer paper size and print out on them. It's cheaper and tears away easier than printer paper. It's easier to have it on hand than trying to run around and find the right size paper; especially when doing tons of them it's easier than doing them without it. I don't know who is charging 58 both of mine together was about that much; the 27 is more in line with the right price

It really is simple math and no waste at all. Take a look at my very first post - Flying Geese Discussion (just search for it) and if you have other questions, I would be happy to answer them. Trust that you can do simple math and you won't have to hand over 3 cents! for someone else's idea. Then again - you've already spent the money.

Love Triangulations!! Four of my quilting buddies and I are doing the Civil War Chronicles BOM quilt this year. For those of you who are doing this BOM, you know how many HSTs are needed each month. I do the printing of the papers each month for the group; we've all chipped in a few dollars to cover the year's cost for printer ink and paper.
The program is a godsend for doing this BOM-accurate and fast. Enjoy using triangulations!!

Good Idea about the doodle paper - is that like newsprint......I'm guessing so....anyway...I will head out to the $$$Store and see how many pads I can pick up...thanks a mil for the tip!!!!

Yes, it's kind of like newsprint; for only a $ you save so much money. I know how to do them the old fashion way and the quick method but the one month I had close to 200 of them to do and that was before they came out w/the latest software that does them in 16th of an inch; trimming them all down was a big enough pain; I'm glad that I had the software to make it easier

I have the cd and while I haven't used it yet, I'm glad I have it. I don't WANT to do the math every time. I want quick and simple. I got my cd for cheap from connecting threads with a coupon (one of those living social or whatever deals) and would rather just use it than look things up or get out the dreaded calculator. I did enough math in HS and college. lol
