Thank you!!! Maybe you can help with my challenge? I found a 12" block pattern online. However, all the HST are to be cut at 3 7/8". This is a real pain in the hiney, not to mention accuracy.

This is so ingenious ! I am working on a quilt that is made of all HST and have been sewing them the old fashion way. Not anymore, I will try this method!
