Therefore you can't ignore the point. The point has to be centered, leaving 2 points hanging.
As you can see in this quicky image, the side points of the triangle hang over...and need to.
Just got to thinking....should I trim the ears off first before attaching to the rectangle? If so, would it be the normal 1/4"? Keeping in mind that there will be a larger triangle being attached to the long side of the rectangle, then attaching 4 of them together to make one block
Pictures always help. You can do a quick iron on both pieces to get the centers and match them that way. I got a point trimmer and that makes them even more accurate. The one I got is called a prep tool and can be used for several different things.
