As I do more of the HST and FG, I find that I don't need the foundations as much. But try as I may, I cannot get the tiny stuff (esp the FG) to ever come out correctly due to size & ironing. The HST's I can make & trim down so that gives me wiggle room, but I haven't found a wiggle/trim technique for FG that is consistent (other than the triangulations).

This is the first time I've used the 'stacked' FG template. It worked well but her suggested cutting sizes is a little small. If I barely have 1/8" over the sewing lines, the seam is not going to be very stable. So I had to recut quite a bit. But now, when I do the second set (once it's out of time out) I will know the "correct" sizes to cut and hopefully not have to cut it 8 times like this set.
