MAIN DRESDEN PLATE PAGE

You can be more creative with Dresden Plate, thanks to Inklingo. The variety of blades and techniques for Dresden Plate and Fan designs gives you so many great options that it almost seems wrong to simply call it "Dresden Plate."

Which of the FIFTEEN different blades will you choose? 8, 12, 16, or 24 in a plate? Will you appliqué or piece? By hand or by machine? Back-basting or templates?

Whatever method you choose, you will always have perfect positioning, thanks to the precise cutting and stitching lines printed on the fabric.

Use your favorite method and finish a quilt that will make you proud.

Love the lines. Quilt more!

Design books have the "how to."
Downloadable Shapes are the shapes to print on fabric.

The Dresden Plate Design Book (half price or free) will help you sew these wonderful blocks, whether you are following a traditional pattern or creating your own design. It is an amazing resource for professional pattern designers too. If you buy the design book first ($10), the payment is credited when you buy the shapes  (details).

Why Quilters Love Inklingo for Dresden Plate

1. Choice of Methods

There is an Inklingo shape collection for you whether you prefer appliqué or piecing, machine or hand.

If you piece the blades, you can appliqué them to a background (printed or unprinted) or piece them into backgrounds printed with the perfect curves and matching marks. Think about it—no worries about centering the plate!! Wow!

You can also mix and match, combining foundation piecing and appliqué. For example, if you like a blade in Basic Pieced, you can appliqué the plate to an unprinted background instead of piecing. The options are endless.

2. Choice of Blades

8, 12, 16, or 24 blades in a plate!

• 9 blade shapes in Appliqué (including a folded point)
• 6 blade shapes in Basic and Fancy Pieced (including two-part blades)
