    I would love to participate in the triangle exchange. My screen name is susmcc. I am from Vine Grove, KY and my name is Susan. As soon as I can get my hands on some triangle paper I will begin making triangles. Is it really ok to use any 2" triangle paper? I believe I have some Triangles on a Roll I could use. I would like to exchange about 300, but as stated in the guide lines I believe I would need to make 348 to be equivalent to the Laundry Basket paper amount. Please let me know if this is correct.

    What fun!

      We were just asking for increments of 28. For you that would be either 308, 336 or364 if you wanted to do some in the 300 range. Happy sewing. Clara

        I am in!

        Great show by the way!

        I plan on making between 10-20 sheets (280-560 total triangles).

            susmcc - Measure your triangles on a roll and see if they measure 2 and 7/8 inch square, solid line to solid line. That is what ours measure. If so, then it work fine. Hope this helps!

              Susan,

              It's fine to use Triangles on a Roll as long as they are 2" finished (2" after sewn in the project).

              Don't forget to leave them folded with the paper still attached. And remember to write your state and country on the papers so people will know where they came from!

                Can I use a pattern from the internet for a 2"finished size HST?

                    You did it fine, Jean! You can use foundations printed from the Internet, but be sure to test your printed papers to see that the squares measure 2-7/8" x 2-7/8" so that the HSTs will finish at 2". Please check your stitch length to make sure your papers are easily removed. Edyta's papers are about the weight of newspaper and tear off really easily.

                          I am blown away!! I am a charter member of TQS but this is the first time that I have followed a topic in the Forum, and what a topic it is!! Thanks you Edyta for getting us started and thank you Debbie, Clara and Margo for all the work you are doing for this SISTERHOOD. I never had a sister, but I don’t think it could have compared to the “sisters” I am now getting to know. If anyone is new to this topic and feeling a little confused about how it works (like I was a couple of days ago), reading page 1 and the posts from Debbie, Clara and Margo will bring you right up to speed. Wish I lived closer to Katy, TX to help with the big Sort & Ship event. If you have a chance, take pictures to share with us all. Give me a date and address for the S & S and I’ll send you treats to keep you going, some version of chocolate of course! Happy sewing everyone. Barb

                            I posted earllier to count me in, but I neglected to tell you where I am from.
                            I am from Garden Valley, Idaho--a small mountian community about 50 miles north of Boise.

                            I am not sure how many triangles I will be able to send, but they will be in multiples of 28 as requested. I will try to send as many as I can get in a flat rate envelope. I will mail what I have before April 1. Thanks so much--this sounds like fun.
