HOW TO... THANGLES
Save hours!  Make half-square triangles faster than you ever thought possible. (And have perfect points, too!)  With Thangles™ you cut straight grain strips, so you don't struggle with bias fabric. Thangles™ are easy to sew--no turning or arrows to follow, so you can quickly chain sew your squares. Thangles™ uses a special ink that allows you to press with the paper on providing for more stability and accuracy.  The special breakaway paper tears away easily--no tugging!  Each package contains complete instructions and will make a typical full-size quilt or four baby quilts. And Thangles™ are  great for scrap quilts--it's easy to make as few as two half-square triangles

Each package of Thangles™ contains enough sheets to make a typical full-size quilt or four baby quilts. Available in 1/2" and 3/4" set, 1", 1.25", 1.75", 2", 2.25", 2.5", 3.5", 4". The sizes listed are for the finished size of the half-square triangle.
