I print hexagons and send her care packages each week. We both share in the stitching and don't have to worry about differences in seam allowance. Perfectly accurate on each hexagon!!Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319192329897637708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-62710794100933043052011-12-03T14:35:54.569-05:002011-12-03T14:35:54.569-05:00Thanks for telling us about this technique/product...Thanks for telling us about this technique/product, Bonnie! I think this would work wonderfully for group made quilts, improving the accuracy of blocks made by several different makers.

I am encouraged by others comments but I have used freezer paper for applique and it always seems to get a bit wrinkled when I press it onto fabric. My other concern would be the ink bleeding out on the quilt now or in the future, but it is worth a try.Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11430919749009206127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-83074599081435962882011-12-03T09:30:02.029-05:002011-12-03T09:30:02.029-05:00I've been using Inklingo ever since it first ...I've been using Inklingo ever since it first came out. There are many lovely complex patterns one can make with the various collections that would be much, much harder any other way. Almost everything on my blog (linked above) has been made using Inklingo. Printing on 2" strips is definitely possible and there are some great tutorials on Linda Franz' blog on how to do that. When it comes to printing things like HSTs and QSTs and getting perfect finished units, you can't beat Inklingo!Cathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02531639422553980153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-78894928285383035232011-12-03T07:25:37.627-05:002011-12-03T07:25:37.627-05:00I love Inklingo.

No matter how careful I was every other sheet got jammed. I took Linda's advice to heart that a cheap printer would be fine and found the cheapest printer I could. I spent $19 on a color printer and have never had a problem with jams or ink splatter. On a side note, I LOVE your mystery quilts! Most of the mystery quilts I have seen are odd to say the least. But your quilts are beautiful. I am looking forward to the next one!<br /><br />kario66@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-79265166992950323892011-12-03T05:50:42.253-05:002011-12-03T05:50:42.253-05:00New discovery!!

But there are so many other options with Linda's Inklingo and I'm using it with my Orcha Bay. I also am thinking about Storm At Sea and I love the Square in a Square and Ying Yang. Oh I just don't have enough time for all the quilts I want to make. For now I am loving Bonnie's mystery. Her quilts are my all time favorites and I think I've made 5 mystery quilts. They are all beautiful. Thank you Bonnie!

I am currently about 2/3 way through piecing a Josephs Coat and I am also hand piecing a Pickledish version of a double wedding ring, doing both with Inklingo. I don't have a blog at this time but there are a few great tips that will get you started with the freezer paper, which can be tricky, just until you get the hang of it.. A hot iron and a very hard surface to iron on.. and remember.. print on the WRONG side of your fabric *LOL*.tncottagequilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09701872048253349930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-61713739258771538962011-12-02T19:50:12.340-05:002011-12-02T19:50:12.340-05:00I am doing your mystery quilt because of Inklingo....I am doing your mystery quilt because of Inklingo. I really wanted to do the quilt but that first step of 228 QST's stopped me cold. Not so good at those or HST's and especially at the size. But I found Inklingo and I'm no longer scared. Got most of my QST's done, will work on the HST's tomorrow and I'm having fun. I'm getting ready to do a Dear Jane and will not having a problem with those small blocks because of Inklingo.

My blog isn't large, but it has some of my Inklingo projects (linked above). I love hexagons and have been mostly doing them (thanks to Inklingo) for the past couple of years. It may help to remember Inklingo is not new software to learn, it's just printing a PDF page of templates on the fabric. <br />'til later, Jillian in NDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-47108937913410240432011-12-02T19:12:15.460-05:002011-12-02T19:12:15.460-05:00Will do Bonnie!!

I...YES, I have used Inklingo and like how it works. I have the HST program and used in on a quilt last January. It works very well, prep time is no longer really than any other HST technique and the accuracy is super. (In actuality, Leslie was using it last night at Quilt-a-Rama, our weekly get together, and she completed (I think) 25 HST sets in the 2 1/2 hours we were together. She will correct me if I am wrong!! That was completed from printed QSTs to finished hour glass sections.) I highly recommend it especially if you can NOT get that 1/4 inch to work consistently. Linda has created "monster quilters" world wide...you should see some of the stuff they do!!! I am all for anything that makes my quilting life easier.<br />Faye "A busy Quilter", MaineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
