Have you tried spraying the paper with 505 a temporary fabric adhesive? I have always pinned my Thangles but I would think the 505 would work.

I use something called Triangulations, it's a CD that has PDF files of HST and QST in many sizes, you just pick the size you want and it will print out the sewing and cutting lines for you. The smaller the size the more will fit on an 8.5 by 11 paper, but you can print out as many as you need. If you want to use strips, you can use those as well with Triangulations. I like that I don't have to keep buying something, just print out more. And you can use any paper that will go through your printer, like Carol Doaks Foundation Paper... works great for HST and any other Paper Piecing projects.

I love thangles. I've done the grid and the line marking on squares and the thangles method wins every time. I should mention though that I have this aversion to drawing lines on fabric. I hate it. I'll have to look at the ta-da ones.

I read about the tada ones and I can't imagine that it doesn't add some bulk. Even the thinnest interfacing adds some bulk. I wish they had a sample that people could try. Even a 2" square would be enough.
