slbram17, unfortunately I don't have a website for pp HST's.
The patterns I was referring to was for a sampler...not just HST's.
What size HST are you planning to make? When making HST's
I like to cut bigger squares, mark the diagonal, sew, press and trim.
Check this website. Also, check the 8 at a time. They have a chart
for different size of HST's. It gives you exact size (not recommended)
or 1/4" or 3/8" or 1/2" more. I think 1/4" extra is more than enough
to trim. Anything more is just a waste.

I like to starch my fabric before cutting. And the Bloc Loc ruler is very
nice for trimming HST's. They also have a set for Flying Geese. I would
suggest you try these methods before attempting paper-piecing unless
you want to make really small ones then PP is the way to go.
I PP when there's a bunch of 1 inch HST's. Bigger ones I would just do
it the regular way. If you still have problems with HST's, come back and ask.
We are here to help.
