    I see the Thangles packages in the quilt stores and have heard others mention that they use Thangles and indicated they really liked them. But, I've never tried. Do you use them? If so, do you like them? What have you made with them?

    Yes I use them and yes, I like them. You get HST that are very accurate and that are fast and easy to make. It's a win/win thing!

    I liked them, but didn't love them. I had issues with everything lying flat the way I wanted it to. I prefer the ones that you iron on, then sew over the solid lines, cut on the dashed (or vice versa, they tell you which), and then you have your HST. Can't remember what those are called.......

    Like the thangles, different LQS offer a "buck a block" with it. You pay one dollar each month and receive a BOM Kit.

    I've done a couple of those, enjoyed it a lot.

    So, how do you decide what Thangles package to get? Do you read a pattern and buy a package with Thangles for the size HST in your pattern? Or are the Thangles a pattern themselves?

    You can print out your own HST paper at this site.

    http://www.quiltingandwhatnot.ca/Hal...-Triangle.html

    A google search will show you several other places online that you can do this at.
