Thangles 2.0" Finished Quilting Templates — 2.0" Finished HSTs, paper tear-away templates for precise, efficient piecing

Designed for quilters who want precision and efficiency, these Thangles templates work from straight-grain fabric strips that are a simple half-inch wider than the finished unit. By avoiding fiddly fractions and specialty cutting math, they let you cut matching squares and triangle pieces from the same strips so you save fabric and time. Each pack includes easy-tear paper templates and clear, step-by-step instructions so you can sew consistent, accurate HSTs whether you’re making patchwork, sampler quilts, or repeated triangle units.

How do Thangles simplify making half-square triangles?

Instead of using the traditional 7/8" math, Thangles uses strips cut a straightforward 1/2" larger than the finished size, which reduces measuring and trimming. The paper templates stabilise the fabric while you stitch, giving crisp seam allowance and accurate points with minimal trimming.

• Work from straight-grain strips cut 1/2" wider than finished size.
• No complex fraction calculations or specialty rulers required.
• Papers hold units steady so piecing yields precise points and seams.

What yields and fabric savings can I expect with the 2.0" finished size?

The 2.0" finished Thangles are optimised to maximize output from common strip widths. Using 2.5" fabric strips, this size produces a large number of half-square triangle units from the same yardage that would normally yield far fewer pieces when cut traditionally.

• Make up to 450 half-square triangles from 2.5" strips in bulk cutting setups.
• Cut matching squares and filler pieces from the same strip to reduce waste.
• Efficient layout minimizes leftover scraps for smaller projects or scrap quilts.

What comes in the pack and how do I use it?

Each Thangles packet contains the paper templates made from easy-tear material plus illustrated instructions showing cutting, sewing, and tearing steps. The technique is approachable for confident beginners and experienced piecers who want to speed production.

• One set of Thangles paper templates sized for 2.0" finished half-square triangles.
• Fully illustrated, step-by-step instructions included for cutting and sewing.
• Paper tears away cleanly after stitching; no special tools are required.

Who this is for: Thangles 2.0" Finished Quilting Templates are ideal for quilters who value accuracy, want to cut fewer pieces by matching squares and triangles from the same strip, and need a fast method for producing large quantities of half-square triangles. They suit hobbyists piecing sampler blocks, small-batch sellers producing consistent units, and scrap-quilt makers looking to reduce waste. Made in the USA and available in sizes from 1/2" to 4", these templates are a practical addition to any sewing room looking to streamline triangle construction without complicated math.
