DRUNKARD’S PATH

3.0 INCH UNITS & RELATED SHAPES

Shape A and B form a 3 inch square.

If you actually like basting and whip-stitching for some reason, you can use Inklingo to print the shapes without seam allowances onto paper or freezer paper, and cut several layers at a time with a rotary cutter. No more expensive paper or mylar templates! Inklingo is a dream come true.

Hexagons, diamonds, triangles, and other shapes are available in Inklingo Shape Collections from www.inklingo.com

Please see THE INKLINGO HANDBOOK for information about using patterns with Inklingo.

FINISHED SIZE HAS NO SEAM ALLOWANCES

B

With only two shapes, the possibilities are endless!

For example, in these 12 inch blocks (right), simply reversing the colors makes this 4 x 4 arrangement look completely different.

ADVANTAGES OF DOWNLOADING

More choiceFaster operation

Green, with low environmental impactImmediate deliveryNo shipping costs

Compatible with Mac

Downloadable Inklingo Collections use fewer natural resources: less energy, less plastic, less paper and less gasoline to deliver around the world. We love Green!

New collections will be added at a fast pace. If all goes well, it should be possible to be more responsive when shapes are requested.

The advantages are huge and I hope you will love this new approach. It has taken months of intensive research. Copy protection (as opposed to copyright) is very complicated, but this solution has many advantages. The trick is to deter sharing (theft) AND give a great experience to Inklingo quilters at the same time. It is a delicate balance. The solution I chose is the nicest user experience I could find that provides copy protection.

OTHER IMPROVEMENTS

Inklingo # 1 and # 2 will continue to be available while supplies last. When they are gone, the shapes will be available in new downloadable collections with some improvements: • suggested custom page sizes and yardage calculations for every shape*• diamonds and triangles will have alternate layouts (different grain, orientation in squares or rows, etc)• rulers on only two edges of each template• smaller page numbers• more matching marks• precision corners (no dog ears, easier matching)• more shapes have variation with no seam allowance • compatible with Mac

* Suggested custom sizes for Shape Collections # 1 and # 2 have been added to the Files of the Yahoo site for members. Please join us online!
