I like Thangles and have used them often. They make perfect HST.

Thangles make good hst. Like all other methods it depends how many you need, what color ways will you need, scrappy, controlled, etc. I also like triangles on a roll...another paper guided way to make hst. It's great that there are so many options to do things.....

I use triangulations. It's a CD with every size triangle you can think of. You print the size you want on your own printer and then do a page of them. It's a terrific program

I too love triangulations. You always have the right size and always perfect size.

I like them but found that the product I like better is "Sew Easy Triangles" because they have a freezer paper back on them. You just stack your 2 fabrics & press the triangle paper on the top. It stays until you're done. I ran into them while on the Wisconsin State Shop Hop. Great idea, I thought. Wish I'd had it 1st.

I use spray baste to hold my Thangles in place and only a couple of pins to hold the two fabrics together. I love Thangles when I have to make standard size HSTs - any others, I use the two-square method.

I like Thangles, but I think I prefer Triangle Paper. I just went to their website and they have some videos: http://www.thangles.com/video.html

It has been years since I used them but they were sure handy when I needed a ton of little half square triangles ( my least favorite unit to make- especially little ones) I used a nice, new, sharp, fine needle and shortened stitch length. Made fast, accurate blocks.

I used Thangles once, but I much prefer making HSTs the Bonnie Hunter way, using either the Easy Angle ruler or her new Essential Triangle tool. Go to her blogsite quiltville.blogspot.com for more info - look under Tips & Techniques tab at the top of the page.
