Sew Easy Guide Tool anyone have it?
#1
I was ordering from Connecting Threads this morning and saw this item on sale. I have never seen one before. It was cheap enough to add to my order. I'll post what I think about it.

That looks handy. If you'd like to save the price of a couple of fat qtrs you can do this! I use green electrical tape to make a straight line down from the needle hole for diagonals; the red tape is my scant 1/4" line. Works a treat!

It was sew "not easy" for me. Couldn't get it to work for anything. Couldn't keep it straight, etc. Maybe I just gave up too easy?? The best way for me to do half square triangles is to cut into squares and then cut into triangles and then sew the triangles together. I know it sounds lame (and a lot of work) but it's the only way I can keep my square somewhat "square".
I have since purchased the June Tailor Half Square triangle ruler and think this should work just fine.
