Special Features

Quilters love fussy cutting with Inklingo! (Video at Lucy Boston)

Lucy Boston sewed all of her quilts with templates and the method known as English Paper Piecing (EPP).  Get better results faster with Inklingo!

With Inklingo, these designs are faster and easier, and more precise. Print the shapes on fabric and sew with a running stitch by hand or sew by machine, or a combination of both, as described in the Hybrid Piecing Video. If you sew with a running stitch, it is more portable, easier to prepare (no templates, no basting), and faster to sew.

There are also 8 Good Ways to Use Inklingo for EPP described in an article on Quilting Hub.

  1. Print paper templates.
    Paper pieces to print for templates with or without seam allowances.
  2. Print and cut the fabric.
    Print one fabric, layer with unprinted fabric and rotary cut several layers at a time. Choice of layouts!
  3. Fussy cut the fabric.
    TWO methods! Traditional and No Waste Fussy Cutting
  4. Preview fabric with window templates.
  5. Decide how much fabric to buy.
    Illustrations show at a glance how much fabric you need!
    That information alone is worth the price of a shape collection.
  6. Rescue an English Paper Piecing UFO.
    English Paper Piecing Rescue (free PDF) will help you make the switch. This is one of the most popular pages on the website.
  7. Create original designs.
    You can never have too many designs!
  8. Learn from Inklingo support and tutorials.
    Just one example: There is no charge for the Hexagon Quilt Design Book ($20 value, PDF download) when you buy any hexagons to print on fabric/paper.

“I use Inklingo to print templates on card stock for English Paper Piecing. It allows me to save money over purchasing die cuts.”  Dawn in Ontario, Canada

“Tried to do Patchwork of the Crosses the traditional way but as I have arthritis in my fingers I found sewing with the templates too hard. Looked on your website, purchased Inklingo and a new printer and am enjoying sewing by hand again. I just love the ease of use and have told all my friends to give it a try.”  Carolyn in NSW Australia

There is an excellent article on Kerry’s blog about why she switched from EPP to Inklingo.

Dawn says: Inklingo is so versatile, I think every EPP’er should try it.

Learn to Hand Piece

The two-hour hand piecing lesson in Quilted Diamonds 2 is like taking a private lesson from me. The beautiful book and DVD are available again.

See the videos on the Lucy Boston Page too! Most of the information also applies to these 0.75-inch hexagons except that the smaller ones are not suitable for machine piecing or hybrid piecing.

    This is a fabulous size of the 90-degree hexagons for Lucy Boston’s Patchwork of the Crosses quilt! They’re not too small and not too big – they’re just wonderful. Quick to stitch, and make a wonderful small block.
