I just made a sample of clue #2 with the template. Even though my template measured 1/8" larger in both directions, when cut out like BH recommends, it fits the Easy Angle Ruler perfectly. I actually cut one smaller and it didn't fit right. The key to getting the corners on correctly and a good rectangle is making sure the hypotenuse AND the side line up with the diamond. Mine comes out about 1/8" long but width is right on! I can live with this and trim them. Maybe by the time I do a few it will all work out. For me, method #2 is the way to go. I think I'll have to cut all of my diamonds first then remove the template to cut my triangles. I've been reading all of your suggestions both here and on Facebook all day while I was out at a basketball tournament. I was DYING to get home and figure it out. Going to start cutting here shortly. So excited!
