Easy Way to Cut Triangles??
A few days or weeks ago there was a thread which showed an easy way to make four triangles from two fabrics. I can't remember the thread or exactly how it was done. I know you stitched a diagonal from corner to corner but I can't remember the sequence of steps after that. I think it was a reply within the thread that showed how to sew and cut the triangles. Can anyone remember the thread or know how to do it. TIA.

I sew a 1/4 inch seam all the way around the two squares I put right sides together and then cut on the diagonal. I end up with 4 triangle units. You can also sew on the diagonals and cut the entire square unit in vertically and horizontally and you get 4 triangle units. It depends on how much you like bias edges. Lol.

If you are stitching on the diagonal, and making more than 2 HST, then you would get 8 , but on the straight of grain

if you stitch around the edge, then cut, you would get 4, but with bias edges

Thanks, everyone. The one I was looking for was the Magic 8 triangles.
The one from chezstitches.blogspot has a great chart for what size to cut your square depending on the size triangle you want.
