Will try that. But don't they make a ruler that is half inch wide just for this? (Too early to go the store and look!)

I took a class last week and the teacher was adamant about scant 1/4 inch seams. Most machines, you can move the needle so slightly that you get a scant one. She also said a "scant" is a needle width to the left of the seam you are doing, or have marked. Elanore Burns has a wonderful square ruler, that when you put it on the seam of your stitched 1/2 triangle and trim it will be a perfect size. Hope this makes sense.
