Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I have a pattern for Pacific Rim quilt from Jinny Beyer and I am starting it again because I screwed up the first time. I am needing help to cut at a 45 degree angle. The direction states "Trim the far left of set at a precise 45 degree angle (which I have done)". This is where I am confused "Cut four strips 3"wide" also at the 45 degree angle, oh I need help PLEASE!
Line up the edge of your 45 degree cut with the 3" mark on your ruler and cut (or mark for cutting) giving you a 3" piece with a 45 degree angle on both sides. Does that help?
This visual might help.

I just thought the same thing, Jan in VA has such a logical mind. She immediately recognizes how to graph it out for easier comprehension. She is also generous with her time to actually plot it out. Jan, you are a natural teacher.
Jan: Don't know if anyone has told you lately: thanks for all your explainations/visuals. It helps tremendously especially to those of us on the board who are umm challenged shall we say ? LOL OKay I meant me !LOLOriginally Posted by Jan in VA

Oh Jan, you are always so helpful. Wish I lived near you
Jan, your visuals are incredibly clear and precise!! Wish patterns we that clear!!
I totally agree! I am a visual learner and so often the written directions just read like "blah, blah, blah" to me. Jan, where do you find your wonderful diagrams?
Creative clutter is better than idle neatness.
I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for sharing it.
Pattern writers should just hire Jan to do their illustrations for them.
