Theresa in England says: I can not believe how easy these are to piece together. Being inexperienced at piecing together curved shapes. . .The directions are clear and the clamshells go together so easily and quickly.

There are wonderful opportunities for fussy cutting with TWO Inklingo methods.

Love the lines. Quilt more!

Relax and sew! Spend your time stitching, not getting ready to stitch. Print the cutting and stitching lines on scraps from your stash.

If you are new to Inklingo, I strongly recommend starting with the free Diamond Triangle Square shape collection. It includes the first chapter of The Inklingo Handbook and some great shapes to print on fabric to get you started.

Even though I was using 4.5″ charms to work on my clamshells I found that using Inklingo to print templates gave excellent cutting and sewing lines. My curves came out elegantly and smoothly. Impressive!

Clamshells steal my heart! I never could have imagined making a clamshell piece without inklingo. You mean there is another way? I was approached in the Drs office waiting room by a woman that was in awe of my work. I hated to admit it was so simple. And fun! I’m thinking of starting another. I love the fact that the worksheets allow YOU TO PLAN exactly what you want, too. It’s just right here. Perfect!

I can not believe how easy these are to piece together. Being inexperienced at piecing together curved shapes I was rather nervous of this collection – I need not have been though. The directions are clear and the clamshells go together so easily and quickly.

I find these clamshells very inspiring. Very handy that this collection goes with a collection with fitting edges! I have made a few EQ designs which use both clamshells and clamshell edges. You can find pictures on my blog http://stofgenoeg.wordpress.com/2010/08/27/clamshell-quilt-designs/

I love clamshells but I never would have attempted to make a clamshell quilt until I met Inklingo. The pieces go together really precise and so easy with the matching points to guide me. Thanks, Linda
