Pressing half and quarter inch triangles?
Do any of you press triangles instead of drawing a line and then sewing.
I have seen this done and wondered what the pros and cons with this method.
Thanks.

NO I don't. It might be difficult to see the pressing line for me and I don't want to stop once I get started.
I don't think it saves any time as I would take time to press vs time to mark. For me marking is way quicker.

I press the center line when I'm doing flying geese and need that mark on the little squares but when doing half square triangles I use Thangles or Laundry Basket HST papers. The papers are so much easier and my triangles come out exact.

I have for the first time used "Clearly Perfect Angles" from New Leaf Stitches and it works for me - no paper, no pencils or pins. There is an instructional video at www.newleafstitches.com.
I think it was on utube I saw the Wonder Cut Ruler, and it is the easiest way of doing HST I have seen.
