I'm not making HST's right now for any project.

Thank you for explaining about this Frog Tape.

Jenny Doan also has a tutorial at the Missouri Star Quilt website. Don't need any frogs just press on the diagonal then stitch 1/4" seam on both sides and cut down the fold. Sorry, I don't link well.

Thanks, that's an excellent time saver.

Thanks so much for posting this. She mentions "frog tape" but I would imagine painter's tape would work just as well?

I am a little embarrassed to ask this question: What is 'frog tape' ?

Pardon, but if you have dark fabric, you can't see where you're going to stay on that tape edge...
