I could not make perfect half triangles until I purchased this ruler. Elenor Burns uses this ruler in her "Underground Railroad" quilt book. I bought the ruler at my LQS, however here is a link.

That looks like something I need. I have lots of problems and am scared of working with hst. Thank you for posting this!!

That is a wonderful ruler!! A lot quicker than pressing it open and then squaring up. I think this one is a must have. Thanks for sharing!!!

Hi Sherrie,
I used to hate HST too. Try Thangles, they work really well. I did the $1.00 Block A Month through LQS, and by the time I was done, I loved them. Then I did a quilt with hundreds of HST. Bought a software (pretty cheap, maybe $25-$30?) called Triangulations. Can do any size. Great for when I need more than a couple HST's. Also does QST. You take 2 large pieces of fabric, right sides together, and sew on the lines. Diagonally, vertically, and then cut on horizontal lines, you end up with lots!! |
Fons and Porter has some great triangle rulers as well.

Someone else on this site mentioned this ruler and I looked at it at Joannes ($14.98), but couldn't see the directions on how to use it and didn't want to open the pkg. Thanks for the pictures and directions. I will now run right out and use a 50% off coupon at Joannes to buy this very useful ruler. Thanks so much for the pictures.
