Custom Page Sizes
In the example above, which I used on The Quilt Show with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims, if I cut the fabric 8.5 x 11, I only get 144 hexagons per yard. If I cut the fabric to the suggested Custom Size of 7.25 x 11, I get 210 hexagons per yard. (Watch TQS # 2911.)
Printing custom paper sizes makes better use of your fabric. It could make the difference between being able to use a favorite fabric and not having enough.
Custom sizes also allow you to print small scraps, Jelly Rolls and Nickels with Inklingo.
Every Inklingo shape collection includes Suggested Custom Page sizes for every layout of shapes, so you can print the number of shapes you need without wasting fabric.
Inklingo Quilt Studio makes this easier! You only cut the fabric to the custom page size now—not the freezer paper. Older photos may show the previous method. See the Guided Tour for current instructions.
It’s this simple now! This used to be a longer page with detailed instructions for setting a Custom Page Size. This is finally as simple as I’ve always wanted it to be. Drag the corner of the pink box or enter the numbers for the Printing Area. Happy Days!
