Inklingo FAQ
Jul 1st, 2009 by Linda
WHAT PRINTER?
Any ordinary Inkjet printer—like yours! Print shapes on the wrong side of the fabric with the Inkjet printer and color ink cartridge you have already. Fabric feeds smoothly through an Inkjet printer when it is ironed to freezer paper. It prints just like paper.
Any ordinary color Inkjet printer will allow you to print custom sizes to use fabric efficiently.
DO I HAVE TO LEARN NEW SOFTWARE?
No! Pages of Inklingo shapes are organized in a PDF file that opens with Adobe Reader. There is no software to install. Just enter the page number (or use the bookmark feature) to print the page with the shape and ink color you need. It’s simple but you will want to read our tips too.
WHAT COLORS?
There are 20 Inklingo colors which are designed to wash out—but even if they don’t, they do not show in the finished quilt. There are tips for choosing the page with the best color of Inklingo ink in this chapter.
IS THIS JUST FOR HAND PIECING?
No! Sew by machine or sew by hand with a running stitch, or combine hand and machine stitching for a “hybrid.” Inklingo introduces new, simpler ways to stitch. There are instructions for piecing and appliqué in the next chapters.
CAN A BEGINNER DO THIS?
Yes! Inklingo is perfect for beginning quilters and for children too.
Cut with a rotary cutter or scissors. No measuring! Just cut and sew along the lines. There is straight grain on every piece. Inklingo makes it easier than ever to start quilting.

Linda,
I just wanted to post that I received my cd, and have had much success in trying out the printing on the material, and I have enjoyed this very much. I have been just playing around, getting the hang of it. I actually love it very much. I will be buying more cd’s as well and I am going to try out the new sampler that just started. It is very nice to meet you. I am in many quilting groups, and have shared that the process you have designed is just wonderful. I am sure you will be getting many new quilters coming to check it all out. Hugs, Morgan
PS. The delivery of my product was fast, and your notes inside were very nice.
