Print shapes on fabric with any ordinary Inkjet printer.
Traditionally, quilters have used homemade or acrylic templates to cut diamonds and triangles and any shapes with angles other than 90 degrees. Inklingo’s precise lines for stitching and cutting—perfectly printed by the hundreds—make it easier, faster, and more precise than ever before.
There is a comparison of Inklingo and acrylic templates under the Machine Piecing tab in the top menu bar.
The actual size of the diamond (and related shapes) is shown in the free PDF at the bottom of this page. It is a big diamond, 5.2 inches from point to point, but I had several requests for it, especially from quilters who are using Inklingo Shape Collection # 3 and a pattern from Australian Patchwork and Quilting called Candied Hexagons.
BY HAND OR BY MACHINE
A running stitch is the first hand stitch any sewer learns, and piecing by hand is simple, portable, and relaxing. You can follow the assembly directions in any book or pattern, but we recommend that you refer to THE INKLINGO HANDBOOK for instructions that will help you piece this beautiful, classic design, by hand or by machine.
Inklingo also provides each shape without seam allowances, so if you prefer English Paper Piecing for some reason, you can print the templates and cut the paper with a rotary cutter or scissors.
Experienced quilter? You will find these diamonds easy to cut and sew, thanks to Inklingo’s precise lines for stitching and cutting, printed on the fabric.
New to Inklingo?  GETTING STARTED
New to quilting? The diamonds in this collection are a nice size for a beginner with basic sewing skills. If you are a complete novice, the instructions for hand and machine piecing in The Inklingo Handbook will get you started. Thanks to Inklingo, you can use scissors if you don’t have a rotary cutter and mat (yet).
