This is brilliant - thank you! I have made what Margaret Miller calls a Blockbender using HRTs and made my own templates from template plastic. Her book gives very easy to follow instructions for drafting and creating very accurate templates. These notes offer some other possibilities that I might try... The challenge with HRTs is that the seam doesn't bisect the corner as with an HST and this is very well explained in these notes. When I first started playing with them, I thought I'd be clever and sew two strips of fabric together then cut out a rectangle from that - of course the seam went through the corners so it didn't work and I lost my points! Doh! But you live and learn! :lol:
