HST question
I know that if I want a 3 1/2 square I should cut it 7/8 more or round up to 1" more. However i made a test square and cut 2 4" squares and drew a line diagonal and sewed 1/4 from the line on each side of line and cut in the middle and pressed and I got a 3 and 5/8 sq. Is that to little to sq up. or should I go for the 4 in square to start with? Another thing I wand to know is there a quick way to make a 4 patch. I sewed two 2'' inch strips together and then sub cut in 2 " and sewed two back together to get a 3 1/2 sq 4 patch. Thanks for your help. When you read the book and sit down to make test blocks, it is entirely different. The book is telling me to do bias strips for the HST and I don't like the instructions so I am doing it the draw a line way.
