Inklingo is perfect for machine piecing and appliqué, but many quilters only associate Inklingo with hand piecing. Monkey suggested that this would be a cool topic for the blog.
The hand piecing snob is sitting on the machine—out of the goodness of his heart—but his mind is on hand piecing.
Inklingo has made preparation so fast and precise that quilters who previously found hand piecing too tedious are now interested, especially because it is so portable and relaxing.
Monkey’s Top Ten Reasons for Hand Piecing are on the Inklingo site.
I love my sewing machine, but I am one of the quilters who enjoyed hand piecing even before Inklingo. I created two DVD lessons so that beginners can see every step up close and understand that it is simple and fun.
The lesson on the DVD of Jane Austen’s Writing Table Quilts is a wonderful introduction to hand piecing, and the lesson applies perfectly to the free Inklingo shape collection for LeMoyne Star (although those shapes are also suitable for machine piecers).
Monkey says, If you aren’t too spoiled by Inklingo, you could even sew one of the Writing Table Quilts, which are very pretty, small, pre-Inklingo projects with an important connection to Jane Austen.
We will write more soon about the advantages of machine piecing with Inklingo and about Jane Austen. It was a plan to promote the happiness of all. (Emma, Ch 53)

Hi Linda and Monkey! It’s been a LONG time since I made blocks for your special surprise quilt from the other group. I’ve been busy learning to spin, and weave… but I have still got my Jane Austen videos, books, and of course, your books. Inklingo looks like just the thing for me to start doing some quilting projects again, especially when I am “on the road”. I pretty much use my Mac exclusively now, so it’s nice to see you made Inklingo compatible! 🙂 I look forward to trying it out. I see familiar names from looking around. Happy Canada Day! We will be in Vancouver, BC, from July 13 – 19. Hugs to all!
