HST template offering?
Just looked at an email ad I recd from Nancy's notions....offering a template to make 8 HST at one time....but sewing the two squares in a cross (+), the cutting from corner to corner (X) giving 8 bias edged HSTs. I'd rather do it the opposite way, so that my cut edges are on straight of grain. I saw in the recent edition of F&P love if quilting mag the way I prefer, along with a few other "how to" pages.
Oh, and in the NN template write up it states finished HSTs are bizarre fractioned size HSTs, which I don't think I have ever created in all the yrs I've been doing this. Has anyone seen this, or have it?
my edit: I just went back to ad and I think it does both..cuts the X to separate the sewn lines, then + to separate the HSTs, but the finished sizes are still in fractions of eighths....unless their definition of finished means finished sizes of the just sewn HSTs, not when imbedded into a block.....I think I need another cup of coffee!
