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.

“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.

i attempted and abandoned Lucy Boston’s quilt some 12 years ago. Inklingo makes it easy-peasy to make an complex, exquisite and magnificent quilt. I am having so much fun with mine now. Thank you.

My mother’s cat has to sleep in the middle of my blocks whenever I work on this at her house. I’m thinking of renaming this one “Patchwork of the Cat.” This is another quilt I probably wouldn’t have attempted without Inklingo. The ability to print cutting and stitching lines on all the background shapes and most of my coordinating fabrics has been a time saver! You can see some of my blocks here: http://aprairiehome.com/patchwork-of-the-crosses/

How do you spell splendid? I think “Inklingo” and “Power of the Cross” says it all to me. I even broke down and bought some fat quarters that will fussy cut stunningly for this project. And it’s almost too easy to hand sew with Inklingo.

This pattern goes together in so many different ways. Fussy cutting and pattern repeats can make the block pop. Inklingo is a great tool for it.

Maryam has said it all This is just the best design to work with and so very addictive. I have a over 70 blocks done for a King size quilt …and am currently putting them all together…. . I would NEVER had attempted this quilt, or made it the size I have, if it hadn’t been for Linda’s wonderful Inklingo. All the peices really go together so well, and fit together with perfection.

Inklingo is by far the best and easiest way to work with this shape. The cutting and sewing lines on the back of the fabric make it perfect each and every time. I never dreamed something so complicated and difficult looking could be achieved so effortlessly!
