I made my first practice set yesterday and they went pretty fast. This is the way I did it: layer fabrics right sides together with light fabric on top to cut, press, pin paper to light fabric, stitch, press to set seams on fabric side (dark fabric), cut into triangles.

Spent the morning at my favorite quilt shop and returned with fusible half-square guides (2"). Should have asked before I ironed it on BUT now I'm wondering if the fusible is acceptable for the exchange. Is it? The instructions say it stays on and is light enough that it won't be noticed in the final quilt.

Wendy, I'm not sure how fusible's will work for this particular exchange. I would hesitate to do it because it would be left in the triangles and could cause some size difference compared to the other triangles since there is another layer, even though it's light. According to Edyta, even using a heavier thread could case the size to be different than the other triangles. If everyone were using the fusibles, then it wouldn't be a problem at all. I really don't know if there's a 'yes' or 'no' answer.

If anyone else has had experience with these fusibles triangles being used with papers that are removed, please respond.

Thanks, Debbie

I agree. Can you save the fusible triangles and do some paper ones for the exchange then add the ones you get back to those fusibles.

I'm in. I'll be using the Triangulations CD to print out my HST papers, they are very accurate. Do we have to post how many sheets
we are sending? Do they all have to be the same fabric? Gosh, this is exciting!

PS I'll do a test sheet of the Triangulations just to make absolutely sure of the size
And I do have the Aurifil thread.

I will be doing one page--28 for this exchange.

Hey, Rosemary, it seems that most of our friends in the US find it difficult to work out where the 'East Midlands' are (hence my decision to say 'North-East'). Somebody suggested 'Heart of the UK' (also inaccurate). I guess I better revert back to 'Robin Hood Country' or consider 'North-East Nottinghamshire' and let everybody work out for themselves where that is.
