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.

Don't worry and have fun with it.

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.
