I like Triangle Papers better than Thangles, but that's a personal preference. I'm working on a quilt that uses 2 1/2' finished size HST's, and I can sew, cut and press 24 units (one sheet) in about 10 minutes. Tear off the papers, press open and you have perfect half square triangles. You layer the two fabrics right sides together, pin a sheet of the Triangle Papers to the layers, sew on the dotted lines, then cut on the solid lines. They are fantastic if you are going to make a lot of half square triangles that are made from the same two fabrics. I'm also going to assume that by kits you mean things like Triangle Papers, Triangles on a Roll, or Thangles. These are the most commonly used triangles in quilting. This one involves payment for the plans, and while it's quite simple to construct, it's a bit better designed than some of the others: вЂ¦ДЇirst, I'm going to assume you mean half square triangles (two right triangles sewn together to form a square) or quarter square triangles (four right triangles sewn together to form a square). This one has directions but no picture: вЂ¦ You could probably make something similar but smaller out of PVC pipe and set it on sawhorses.

It uses fabric 'sleeves' on the rails to attach the quilt 'sandwich.' It hangs from the ceiling, and 3 people can sit on each side to work on a quilt. I have one that's a huge hoop on a floor stand and one that I inherited that's four rails (strips of wood) that fit together at the corners with bolts.

There are all sorts of simple quilting frames.
