MAIN CLAMSHELL PAGE

Inklingo makes Clamshell curves fun for more quilters.

Even experienced quilters sometimes avoid sewing curves, but the precise stitching lines and matching marks—printed on the fabric with Inklingo—make a big difference.

Love the lines. Quilt more!

Inspiration for Clamshell Designs

1. In 2010, many Inklingo quilters were interested in a Clamshell Quilt-Along. They could see that Clamshell would be much easier with Inklingo than with templates.

When Inklingo quilters ask for shapes, we listen!

2. I was inspired by a spectacular set of quilted bed hangings in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London (V&A). You can see photos of it in several books, including:

• Kaffe Fassett’s Museum Quilts (2005), especially pages 44-49
• Quilts 1700-2010 Hidden Histories, Untold Stories, edited by Sue Prichard, V&A Publishing (2010), especially page 164

There are also images the Victora & Albert Museum site. Search for item number 242-1908.

3. Barbara Brackman wrote about an "Unknown Pattern" on her wonderful Material Culture blog. Who could resist?

This is a rare design because it is difficult to sew without Inklingo.

With Inklingo, the arcs of triangles are perfect for chain piecing by machine, or for continuous stitching* by hand.

*Turn a corner at the end of every seam and continue stitching without breaking the thread. (Illustrated in the shape collections)
