I have mine all finished. Time for another clue! I think the butterfly looks pretty. Is this a good guess?

Karen, I love your WoW. I had a big piece of that, but I think I have just about finished it. Beautiful floral fabric, too.

Thanks, that's what I was leaning towards.

What is everyone's favorite HST method? Unwrapped the Easy Angle Ruler I've had for years and my machine eats the triangles even with a leader. I'm liking the Magic 4 method much better!

Magic 8 is my favorite by far. If I don't need near 8 my next go to is the simple 2 method. I seldom do the 4 method b/c it leaves bias edges on the outside. I will occasionally but I spray sizing it until it is almost as firm as paper.

My preferred is the 8 at a time method. I usually increase the starting square by 1/8th an inch -- 1/4" if the HSTs are over 4". I rarely have to trim anything other than the dog ears with that method. And the formula for the starting square is easy to remember -- twice the finished size plus 1.5". My machine doesn't like the triangle points either. I should say my $2500.00 Janome doesn't. The $150.00 Brother does fine with them. But I still prefer not having to mess with all those little pieces.

Delfina -- way to go. You are fast!
