Inklingo Home

I am Linda Franz, the inventor of Inklingo. I publish downloadable PDFs that quilters use to print shapes on fabric (or paper) to cut and sew quilt designs including Lucy Boston, Millefiori Quilts, Quilted Diamonds, Jane Austen, and hundreds more.

If you are like me, you enjoy sewing more than you enjoy measuring and cutting the fabric shapes to get ready to sew.

Print on fabric with Inklingo

With pre-Inklingo methods we sometimes struggle with shapes that don’t quite fit together or that require an extra step of trimming afterwards. It’s easy for a project to get bogged down with disappointing results or extra steps.

Inklingo takes the same amount of time (or less) and makes every step easier and more precise.

Love the lines. Quilt more!

Quilters always start with good intentions but many quilts are never finished and that causes unnecessary stress and disappointment.

It’s not your fault. Traditional tools make it hard to measure and cut precise shapes and to sew accurately.

When you print on fabric with Inklingo, you cut on a line for precise shapes without measuring and sew along a line with confidence, so you can finish a quilt you are proud of—and enjoy every step along the way without stress.
