If I use Thangles, I don't have any problem getting them.

Without Thangles, though, (and I'd like to know both ways), I have a great deal of trouble sewing a 1/4 away from center on BOTH sides. I was told to lay the squares on top of each other, draw a line down the center of the darker piece and sew on each side of that line.
Well, it works fine with the line on the left, but I can't figure out a way to see the 1/4 inch on the right side of the center line. I keep trying and it just never matches the other side.

I *think* they make a little plastic ruler that does this. Is that correct?

Any help appreciated! I don't mind using Thangles at all, but it would be nice to be able to do them either way.
