I already do that. I have a TON of HST squares already made, just not pressed yet of various sizes. I don't like having triangles hanging loose in my bins. It promotes wonkiness. I don't press them until I'm getting ready to use them either.
This was all great information! Thank's for the link too cause that was exactly what I was looking for.
